Call For Participation: IWQoS'03
by Ion Stoica 14 May '03

14 May '03

Please accept my apology if you receive multiple copies of this message. Ion ---- The 11th International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS'03) 2-4 June, 2003 Dubletree Hotel, Monterey, California, June 2-4, 2003 http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/ Highlights: Invited talks: - "Micro-Buffered Networks", Rene Cruz (UCSD) - "Breaking the Great Internet Deadlock OR Why there isn't any Network QoS and what to do about it", Abhay Parekh (ICSI Berkeley) - "Go After Challenges", Lixia Zhang (UCLA) Panel: "QoS in Demand: Who Needs it Anyway?" - Chair: Klara Nahrstedt (UIUC) Panelists: Andrew Campbell (Columbia U.), Dave Hartzell (NASA Ames), Srinivasan Keshav (Ensim), Jerry Rolia (HP Labs), Harick Vin (UT Austin) The full program consisting of 27 regular papers is available at http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/program.html Quality of Service continues to be an active research field, especially in the networking community. IWQoS is a successful series of workshops that aims to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on QoS. Traditionally, IWQoS workshops are cross-disciplinary and well focused, with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to informal discussion. In addition to the traditional QoS topics such as service guarantees and admission control, this year we aimed to expand the scope of the workshop by encouraging submissions offering research contributions related to robustness, resilience, security, and predictability in networking and distributed systems. As a result, the program included two sessions on availability, fault tolerance, and dependability. The other sessions covered routing, resource allocation, storage, Web services, incentives, and rate based QoS.

TC6 meeting documents (1)
by Augusto Casaca 14 May '03

14 May '03

Dear TC6 members, I feel that we need to progress on the way that we produce the documents for our meetings. I will proceed in the usual way of preparing and carrying the meeting documents for the two meetings of 2003, but probably we could take the opportunity of having a new chair in 2004 and start producing and distributing documents in a fully electronic way. May be we can think about dealing only with electronic documents and the chair would put them in the TC6 server one week before the meeting. Then all delegates can upload them and bring them to the meeting in their PCs. On this way we would have a full electronic process. In the meantime, I send you by e-mail some documents that will be part of the meeting documents. You do not need to carry them but you might be interested in reading them before the meeting. Let me tell you that there are many more, and interesting, documents in the meeting minutes. I still have a lot of documents in paper form. I will split the documents in different mails. In this mail you will get the WG reports (may I ask Ioannis to distribute the WG 6.3 report to the list, because, by some reason, I have only got the paper version. My fault!) Enjoy the reading Best regards Augusto
