Call For Papers
Quality of Service (QoS) in communication
systems has been a long lasting research focus worldwide. More than
twenty-year history of IWQoS has established it as a highly
reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects
related to the topic. IWQoS 2014 will continue to be a premier symposium
on Quality of Service, providing an international forum for presentation and discussin of cutting edge research in the field. While QoS research for future
generations of wired and wireless networks continues to attract
much interest, recent exploration of data centers,
virtualization, cloud computing, cloud services, industrial
communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of
research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality
of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP).
The scope of IWQoS 2014 covers both
theoretical and experimental research on QoS, QoE, QoP and
related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability,
security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and
management, user experience, and system performance guarantees.
Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to)
the following areas:
- Quality of cloud services and cloud computing
- Quality of protection, quality experience, security and privacy
- System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks
- Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control
- Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation
- Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware
- QoS parsing, identification and control
- Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification
- Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management
- Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks
- Energy awareness in communication systems

Paper Submission Guidelines:
IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness.
Reviewing will be double-blind. Submissions must not reveal the authors' names and their affiliations. In other words, submissions must be anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits.
Paper submissions should be no longer than 10 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field.
IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the symposium as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the symposium (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the symposium.
