IWQOS 2011 5-7 June 2011 San Jose, California, USA

CALL FOR PAPERS

This year, IWQoS 2011 is co-sponsored by both ACM and the IEEE Communications Society and will be held at the San Jose Convention Center during June 5-7, 2011 as a part of the Federated Computer Research Conference (FCRC).

Also new for this year, we will have a Special Section organized in collaboration with the IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management (TNSM) to provide fast-tracking of high-quality papers from this forum for journal publication, and a Best Paper Award will be given this year as well.

Improving quality of service (QoS) in both networks and end-systems has been a long lasting research focus worldwide. The eighteen-year-long success of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to QoS. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to captivate much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, industrial communication, and "green" computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP) . The scope of IWQoS 2011 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees.

- Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: Data centers, virtualization and cloud computing - Energy saving in networks and end systems; IT technologies to reduce energy consumption in applications - Protection, experience, security and privacy - System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and DoS attacks - Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation - Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control - Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification - Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management - Architectures and protocols for IP and WDM networks, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; wireless ad-hoc, mesh, and sensor networks - Design for the future Internet - Green technology for computing, networking, and communications

Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/). All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows.

The proceedings will be published in the ACM Portal and IEEE Xplore.

Important Dates Paper registration & abstract: February 28, 2011 Paper submission deadline: March 7, 2011 Notification of acceptance: April 25, 2011 Camera-ready papers: May 16, 2011

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IWQoS 2011 Conference Proceedings (as well as the ACM Portal and IEEE Xplore), an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented at the conference. Registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted papers will be published in the IWQoS 2011 Conference Proceedings. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE IWQoS 2011 Conference Proceedings, the ACM Portal, and IEEE Xplore.
