Recent technological advances in broadband networks, peer-to-peer networks, wireless networks, grid computing, and Internet-based social networks have led to new research challenges, such as providing QoS support for multimedia applications on the future Internet that seamlessly integrates wired, wireless, and overlay networks. Building on the previous success, the objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working in this area to discuss recent and innovative results, and to identify future directions. The scope of the workshop covers all aspects of QoS research, including related issues such as availability, reliability, security, pricing, resource management, and performance guarantees. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * QoS on the Internet * QoS in distributed systems, including grid computing systems * QoS in wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * QoS in operating system design * QoS support in middleware * QoS for web services and storage systems * QoS for overlay networks * System dependability, availability, resilience, and robustness * Security and privacy as QoS parameters * Adaptive QoS in a dynamic environment * QoS evaluation metrics and methodologies * QoS analysis and modeling * QoS pricing and billing * QoS architectures and protocols * QoS routing algorithms * Programmability and language features supporting QoS * Rationality, incentive, microeconomics, and self-interest in decentralized networks * QoS in business processes, workflows * Policy-based QoS management * Last-mile QoS at wireless edge * QoS assurance under DoS or DoQ (denial of quality) attacks * QoS design for the future Internet. IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with reasonable margins and font sizes of 10 or larger. All accepted papers, will be included in the conference proceedings. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must present the paper at IWQoS 2009. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The workshop is a single-track forum spanning two and a half days. Award will be given at the workshop to the best paper. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission deadline: February 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 6, 2009 Camera-ready papers due: May 4, 2009 Workshop dates: July 13-15, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committees ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Steering Committee: Yan Chen, Northwestern University, USA Chen-Nee Chuah, University of California-Davis, USA Georgios Karagiannis, University of Twente, Netherlands Gunnar Karlsson, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Yang Richard Yang, Yale University, USA David Yau, Purdue University, USA * Program Co-Chairs Shigang Chen, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA Srihari Nelakuditi, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA * Finance Chair Weiyi Zhang, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, USA * Publicity Chair Jian Tang, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, USA * Local Chair Kuang-Ching Wang, Clemson University, Clemson, SC, USA * Webmaster Maliek Mcknight, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA From msaqibilyas74 at yahoo.co.uk Sat Jan 10 06:04:44 2009 From: msaqibilyas74 at yahoo.co.uk (Saqib Ilyas) Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 14:04:44 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [e2e] How to model link failure distribution Message-ID: <840929.17597.qm@web25406.mail.ukl.yahoo.com> Greetings I'd like to seek advice on what distribution would be best suited to model the single link failure in a service provider network. Using uniform distribution and saying any link is equally likely to fail. Note that I am interested in a single link failure only.
