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 cooperation with the KTH Center for Wireless Systems.
