Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,
We are pleased to inform you that the
Thirteenth International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2005)
will be held in the University of Pasau, Germany, on June 21-23, 2005
Call for papers
IWQoS has emerged as the prime annual event on Quality-of-Service
(QoS)-related research and technologies. Building on the successes of
previous workshops, the objective of the workshop is to bring
together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this
area to discuss recent and innovative results, and identify future
directions and challenges. IWQoS has a long standing tradition of
being highly interactive while maintaining highest standards of
competitiveness and excellence. This characteristic will be
re-emphasized by intercepting the regular paper sessions with
stimulating discussion events about controversial and cutting edge
topics. The program will include the following highlights:
Key Note by Industrial Speaker
A Panel on "Self-Organization and QoS" by David Hutchison, Lancaster Univ, U.K.
A Position Paper Session on "The Impact of QoS: Where Industry meets
Academia" by Francois Le Faucheur, Cicso Systems France and Georgios
Karagiannis, Twente Univ., The Netherlands.
A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research
Key Note and Invited Paper by Randy Katz, UC Berkeley, U.S.A.
<http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/lehrstuehle/demeer/iwqos/cfexhib.html>Industrial
Exhibition and Demonstration of Tools and Methods related to Quality
of Communication by Jan de Meer, Institute for High-performance
Microelectronics GmbH, Frankfurt (Oder), Germany
The panel and the short paper sessions will be highly interactive and
leave much time and space for the audience to get involved. The
position and short papers will go through the general reviewing
process but the papers must specifically be submitted to fit the
track. Short versions of regular technical papers will not be
accepted here. It is rather encouraged to submit work that is either
stimulating with a long term vision or that points to immediate
relevance with need for controversial debate to address the foremost
experts at the venue.
Technical Program
Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of
domains. Our goal is to broaden the areas that QoS research can be
pulled from by recognizing the multi-disciplinary aspect to much of
the research. In addition to the traditional areas, the call for
papers does solicit, but is not limited to, papers in such areas as:
QoS in mobile/wireless environments, Sensor networks, 4G (IP for 3G)
QoS in overlays and peer-to-peer networks
QoS in GRID environments
SLA: end-to-end QoS, QoS in large scale, heterogeneous environments
QoS-aware software components: QoS for Web Services
QoS and self-organizing systems
New frontiers of QoS
QoS measurement versus control
QoS adaptation versus resource reservation
Hidden QoS issues, have we just learned to ignore QoS problems?
QoS in context aware systems (also related to mobility)
User perception/user interfaces for QoS
QoS and distributed systems
QoS and middleware
Fault tolerance and QoS
QoS in ad hoc networks
Economics and QoS
Security, trust and QoS
QoS in the home and everywhere
QoS and new media
QoS and haptics , virtual environments
QoS in buisiness processes, workflows
IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to
provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as
close to the conference as the publishers allow. The workshop is a
single-track forum spanning two and a half days. It values both
theoretical contributions and practical experience.

Best Student Paper Award
Award will be given at the conference to the best student paper,
whose first author is a current student.
Paper Submission
IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original
research results, and that have not been previously published or
currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous
or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly
noted in the submission. Submissions should be full-length papers
that are no longer than 20 double-spaced single-column pages with
font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and
must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. All papers must be
submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other
formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions
will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity,
relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each
accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2004. The paper
submission can be done <http://www.net.fmi.uni-passau.de/crp>here.
Short Position Papers for Industry Session and Works in Progress
We solicit submissions of short papers for the two sessions outlined
above. The short papers are limited to three single-spaced pages.
Accepted papers will be presented in a 15-minute time period, and
will be included in the conference proceedings.
