20th IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2012)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal, June 4-5, 2012
http://www.ieee-iwqos.org/ 

Quality of Service (QoS) in communication systems has been a long lasting 
research focus worldwide. The 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. 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 2010 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
* Design for the Future Internet

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. Paper submissions should be no longer than 
9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10.

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system. 
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 workshop 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 conference 
(e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the 
conference.
