----------------------------------------------------------------------- *IWQoS 2003*
Eleventh International Workshop on Quality of Service
Monterey, California, June 2-4, 2003
http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/
Sponsored by National Science Foundation, IEEE Communications Society and IFIP WG6.1 in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Please find programm and registration information below... -----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
