WORKSHOP ON REVISITING IP QOS: WHY DO WE CARE, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED (RIPQOS) http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/ripqos

In Conjunction with SIGCOMM 2003 Karlsruhe, Germany 27 August 2003

ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS

For over a decade the Internet engineering and research community has debated, designed, and ignored IP Quality of Service (QoS) tools and techniques. There's a sense that something might be needed, but little agreement on why and who will pay. At times the very notion of QoS has seemed to be a pointless waste of time, almost a solution waiting for a problem.

This workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss the history of IP QoS research and development, review what could have been done better (or totally differently), and challenge the industry to think out of the box going forward.

Papers are invited that provide well-argued opinion, speculation, or contrary positions. For example:

- IP QoS schemes never quite seem complete. Is this just a great research game for academics? - Where's the money? How do we make IP QoS pay when typical Internet applications don't care, and the user's don't know any better? - Will online, multi-player games be the market segment that justifies end-user/access ISP investment in IP QoS tools and solutions? - Isn't more bandwidth the answer?

Of particular interest are papers that critique the evolution of IP QoS solutions to date and/or explain what sort of applications and user mindset will need to emerge before IP QoS solutions become cost-effective for ISPs to deploy.

A workshop report will be published in a special edition of SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review. Presented papers will be archived in workshop proceedings, and also placed in the ACM Digital Library.

WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMIT

Papers should be no longer than 10 pages; submissions SHOULD be anonymized as much as practical, but this is not a requirement. If a paper's core message has been published (or accepted for publication) elsewhere the authors must provide new and additional argument and content in order to be considered for RIPQOS. See http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003/workshop/ripqos/ripqos.html for full submission requirements in the near future.

DEADLINES (Tentative; please check the Web page for updates)

Submission deadline March 31, 2003 Notification of acceptance May 26, 2003 Camera ready papers due June 30, 2003 Workshop date August 27, 2003
