Call for Papers
QShine 2004 - First International Conference on Quality
of Service in
Heterogeneous Wired/Wireless Networks
18-20/10/2004 Dallas,
Texas, USA
http://qshine.org/Technically Co-Sponsored
by IEEE COMSOC TCCC, IEEE Dallas Chapter, and ACM.
(*Approval pending on
ACM)
Scope
Recent technological developments in broadband high-speed
networks,
peer-to-peer networks,
wireless and mobile networks, and grid
computing have led to newer
challenging problems,
such as providing QoS
support to the emerging high-speed internet and
multimedia
applications
across both wired and wireless networks.
This conference
will focus on all aspects of QoS support for heterogeneous
wired and wireless
networks.
Papers addressing cross-layer design on QoS support for both wired
and
wireless networks are strongly encouraged.
It will serve as a forum
for researchers from both academia and industry for
presenting recent
research results
in QoS issues for both wired and wireless
networks.
The conference features prominent invited speakers as well as
papers by top
researchers in the field.
Please join us in Dallas for
QShine 2004!
Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and
practical results of
significance.
The scope of the conference includes,
but is not limited to:
QoS in wireless local area networks
QoS in sensor
networks and wireless ad-hoc networks
QoS support and mobility management in
wireless Internet
QoS in wireless and mobile multimedia
QoS provisioning
in mobile IP and IPv6
Scheduling policies for wireless networks
QoS in
current and emerging cellular and satellite networks
Differentiated service
in wireless multimedia networks
QoS in broadband high-speed networks
QoS
in optical networks
QoS support for Internet applications
QoS across
heterogeneous link technologies
Middleware support for QoS
provision
Policy-based QoS differentiation
Interactive broadband

Variable and adaptive QoS
QoS
modeling and measurement
QoS routing, resource management, and admission
control
QoS pricing and billing
QoS architectures, protocols, and
systems
QoS in web systems and storage systems
QoS specification, metrics,

Publication
Accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
Papers of particular
merit will be proposed for publication in ACM / Kluwer
Wireless Networks
(WINET).
