Call For Papers
The 3rd international workshop on
QoS in Multiservice IP Networks (QoS-IP 2005)
Catania, Italy
February 2-4, 2005
http://www.tlc-networks.polito.it/QoS-IP2005/
Technical Co-Sponsorship by the IEEE ComSoc TCCC and TC-CSIM
All-IP is becoming the dominant networking paradigm for the present century. The evolution towards an all-IP
core network infrastructure continues unabated, with an enriched IP layer being sometimes the unique
networking player on top of WDM links. Even more impressive is the scenario currently envisioned in the
access domain. On the one side, IP over switched Giga (or 10-Giga) Ethernet is replacing the traditional access
means. On the other, the widespread deployment of non-3G wireless access networking technologies (such as
802.11 WiFi wireless LANs or 802.16 WiMax wireless MANs) require IP to take roles traditionally envisioned
for 3G core networks. Key to the success of IP is its flexibility, that allows the integration within one network
of a number of systems which at lower layers may have different characteristics, as well as the transport over a
common infrastructure of the traffic flows generated by a variety of applications (web browsing, e-mail,
telephony, audio and video distribution, multimedia multicasting, financial transactions, ...), whose
performance requirements may be extremely different.
This situation has generated a great interest in the development of techniques for the provision of quality of
service (QoS) guarantees in IP networks offering a variety of services through a range of different user
interfaces (wired and wireless, of different nature), in the development of mapping strategies between the endto-end QoS models provided at the IP layer with the local QoS solutions offered by the underlying
wired/wireless networking technologies, and in the development of tools for the network optimization under
QoS constraints.
In 2003 and 2004, the Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research has been funding a large
research programme on these topics, named TANGO (Traffic models and Algorithms for Next Generation IP
networks Optimization – see http://tango.isti.cnr.it/).
QoS-IP 2005 is organized by TANGO, and aims at the presentation of high-quality recent research results on
QoS in IP networks, and at the dissemination of the most relevant research results obtained within the TANGO
programme.
The proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series,
and distributed to all Workshop participants. A special issue of Computer Networks will comprise extended
versions of the best papers of the Workshop
Contributions are invited on all topics concerning the provision of QoS guarantees in multiservice IP networks,
including:
• Fluid models for QoS estimation in large IP
• Architectures for the provision of QoS
networks
guarantees in IP networks
• Experimental results on QoS
• End-to-end QoS in IP networks
• QoS in wireless/mobile IP networks
• Adaptive and customizable QoS provision
• QoS in photonic IP networks
• Network planning and optimization for QoS
• QoS for special environments (Peer-to-peer,
• Traffic models for QoS network design
infomobility, broadcasting, … )
• Analytical and simulation models for QoS
• Mapping and Interworking between Local
estimation
QoS and end-to-end QoS mechanisms
