CALL FOR PAPERS
2006 International Workshop
"Towards the QoS Internet", To-QoS'2006
http://www.tele.pw.edu.pl/to-qos2006
University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal,
May 19, 2006
To be held in conjunction with "2006 IFIP Networking
Conference"
http://networking2006.dei.uc.pt/workshops.htm
===========================
Workshop Purpose
================
Providing Quality of Service (QoS) into the Internet
requires implementation at the network level a variety of mechanisms and
algorithms dealing with the call and packet handling, network resource managing
etc. In addition, they should operate at different time scales, from the time
scale of milliseconds for handling packets in the routers up till the longer
time scale, say hours, for performing some actions to manage network resources
in an optimum way. Furthermore, a signaling system is extremely required to
inform the network about the user-application needs. As a consequence, enhanced
QoS-oriented architectures mainly based on DiffServ concept are currently
investigated and tested in research networks. Anyway, to provide QoS we need to
make an essential update of current Internet infrastructure. The workshop is
aimed at presenting and discussing current activities in this area, including
the results coming from running research projects.
Detailed Scope
==============
* Architectures for assuring QoS in the Internet
* QoS aware applications
* Enhanced Transport Protocols
* QoS routing
* QoS mechanisms in access and core networks
* Inter-domain aspects
* Classes of service
* Admission Control
* PHB mechanisms
* Monitoring and measurement systems
* Scalability
* End-to-end QoS
* Signaling systems

Paper submission
================
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing
original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review
by another conference or journal, addressing original research as well as
results of laboratory and real network trials. All papers will be reviewed and
accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, published by the 2006
IFIP Networking Conference organizers. The best papers of Workshop Sessions
will also be considered for a limited Book and/or Special Issue Edition.
Papers must be submitted electronically. For the submitted
paper please use the Springer-Verlag instructions for authors at:
www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
The maximum size of papers should be 5000 words including
tables and figures, according to the formatting standard for a 12-page
manuscript of Springer-Verlag LNCS. The cover page must contain an abstract of
about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the
corresponding author's e-mail and postal address.
