                              *IWQoS 2003*

            Eleventh International Workshop on Quality of Service

                  Monterey, California, June 2-4, 2003

                    http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/

                Sponsored by National Science Foundation,
               IEEE Communications Society and IFIP WG6.1
           in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Please find programm and registration information below...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Quality of Service continues to be an active research field,
especially in the networking community.  IWQoS is a successful series
of workshops that aims to provide a forum for the presentation and
discussion of new research and ideas on QoS. Traditionally, IWQoS
workshops are cross-disciplinary and well focused, with the emphasis
on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted
to informal discussion.

In addition to the traditional QoS topics such as service guarantees
and admission control, this year we aimed to expand the scope of the
workshop by encouraging submissions offering research contributions
related to robustness, resilience, security, and predictability in
networking and distributed systems. As a result, the program included
two sessions on availability, fault tolerance, and dependability.  The
other sessions covered routing, resource allocation, storage, Web
services, incentives, and rate based QoS.
