Call for Papers Fourth COST 263 International Workshop on Quality of Future Internet Services (QoFIS 2003)

October 1-3, 2003 KTH, Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden URL: http://www.imit.kth.se/info/LCN/qofis2003/

Scope

The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss design and implementation techniques for providing quality of service in communication systems. This workshop is the fourth international event organized by COST263 Action "Quality of Future Internet Services" and it explicitly focuses on the provisioning of quality of service in the Internet, including wireless network access and host system support. The workshop will serve as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and maturing approaches to QoS, and for bringing together researchers, developers and practitioners from both industry and academia.

Along with presentations of papers and keynote speeches, QoFIS 2003 will offer a seminar day on October 3 with invited speakers on the topic "Quality of Service in Wireless Networks." The seminar is organized in in cooperation with the KTH Center for Wireless Systems.

List of Topics

We are inviting research contributions on topics strongly related to the offering of quality of service in the Internet. These include, but are not limited to :

Traffic modelling and classification QoS requirements, mapping and negotiation Denial and theft of QoS Policing, scheduling and metering QoS routing, inter and intra domain Signaling, session management Traffic engineering, service dimensioning End-system QoS support Policy-based QoS management QoS in wireless networks QoS in peer-to-peer networks Active networking for QoS Charging for quality
