CALL FOR PAPERS The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS) Chicago, IL, June 20-22, 2007 http://iwqos07.ece.ucdavis.edu/

Quality of Service principles can be applied to a large number of domains, and are particular relevant to the new NSF initiatives on Future Internet Design (FIND) and Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI). The scope of the workshop will broadly cover all the important aspects of QoS research: in networking (wireline, wireless, and sensor networks), distributed systems, operating systems, servers, and middleware (such as grid computing and peer-to-peer systems). The workshop values both theoretical and practical research contributions and encourages multi-disciplinary approaches to QoS research. Besides traditional QoS topics, we welcome submissions on relevant technical issues, such as availability, reliability, security, pricing, incentive, resource management, and performance guarantees, in the context of networking and distributed systems.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* QoS in the wide-area Internet, peer-to-peer, overlay * QoS in large-scale distributed systems, including grid environments * QoS in wireless, mobile, ad hoc, and sensor networks (including wireless mesh networks) * QoS in intranets and VoIP systems * QoS for web services and storage systems * System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness * Security and privacy as QoS parameters * QoS specification, translation, and adaptation * QoS evaluation metrics and methodologies (measurements, verification, etc) * QoS analysis and modeling * QoS pricing and billing * QoS architectures and protocols (including QoS routing) * Programmability and language features supporting QoS * Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks * QoS and new media * QoS and haptics , virtual environments * QoS in business processes, workflows

IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. Full-length papers for submission must not exceed 20 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100 -- 150 words. Short papers for submission must not exceed 5-6 double-spaced single-column pages with font sizes of 11 or larger, including all figures and references. An abstract of 3-5 lines is recommended. When submitting a short paper, the authors of short papers must check the corresponding check box at the submission site. All papers must be submitted in either Postscript or the Adobe PDF format, and no other formats are accepted by the paper submission web site. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2007.

IWQoS aims to allow rapid dissemination of research results and to provide fast turnaround. The deadline for papers is therefore as close to the conference (about 4-5 months apart). The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. Award will be given at the workshop to the best student paper, whose first author is a current student. The best paper award will be chosen in consultation with the TPC members and will be based on the topic, technical contributions, review scores and comments of the paper.
