My sincere apology if you receive multiple copies. ibrahim ----------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP ON QOS SUPPORT FOR REAL-TIME INTERNET APPLICATIONS In Conjunction with The 5th IEEE Real-Time Technology and Applications Symposium Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel Tuesday June 1, 1999 PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS http://www.cs.bu.edu/pub/rtaw99 OBJECTIVE - --------- The Internet is increasingly being used to support a wide range of applications that are subject to QoS constraints for proper operation. This 1-day workshop (preceding the 1999 IEEE RTAS'99 Symposium) aims at bringing together researchers interested in the design and implementation of novel protocols and architectures to support the requirements of such applications in the context of the existing ubiquitous infrastructure of the Internet (i.e. HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP, MBone, etc.) SCOPE - ----- The following are examples of important questions that the workshop aims to address. - - While much effort has been devoted in the recent past to the investigation of transport mechanisms capable of delivering demanding Quality of Service (QoS) requirements (e.g. RSVP and DiffServ), little attention has been paid to the QoS issues at servers. Interesting issues include the design and implementation of architectures and protocols that allow HTTP servers to be cognizant of request priorities or QoS requirements. This is particularly important for ISP Web hosting environments. - - Delivering QOS guarantees in distributed systems is fundamentally an end-to-end issue, that is, from application-to-application. Perhaps the main practical problem to widely deploying technologies that provide QoS is that they are incompatible with the existing ubiquitous infrastructure of the Internet. Interesting issues include the design and implementation of middleware support that enables applications to monitor the delivered QoS through real-time traffic measurement, policing, and control. - - There are a number of new technologies and standards for IP switching architectures to support QoS in the network. Yet, it is not clear how end-to-end application requirements will be presented to such architectures. Interesting issues include the identification of a small set of network switching capabilities that could be composed together and used to deliver the requested end-to-end QoS requirements. Along the themes stated above, contributions are solicited in any of the following topics: - - Issues related to supporting mobile clients and servers - - Directory Enabled Networking (DEN) issues - - Policy-based service differentiation - - Active networking and QoS support - - Multicasting QoS issues - - Mechanisms for real-time differentiated services - - NGI applications (distributed interactive virtual environments, etc.) - - QoS-based routing - - Dynamic Management of Communication Resources - - Internet2 PAPER SUBMISSION - ---------------- Extended abstracts of papers to be presented at the Workshop are solicited. Submissions should be limited to 10 double-spaced pages. Accepted papers will be published in the Workshop proceedings and will be considered for publication as articles in an edited book on the subject. The preferred format for electronic submission is PDF suitable for Acrobat Reader. Postscript with US Letter size pages will also be accepted. Papers should be emailed as attachments to Azer Bestavros <best@cs.bu.edu> by April 16, 1999. IMPORTANT DATES - --------------- The deadline for submission of extended abstracts is April 16th 1999. Notification of acceptance will be sent out on April 30th. Camera-ready versions of accepted manuscripts will be due on May 14th. HOTEL INFORMATION: - ----------------- The Workshop will be held at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel, which is located at the heart of beautiful downtown Vancouver, minutes away from the Waterfront and from many other attractions.
