 The best-effort service model of the current Internet does not
 provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to multimedia and
 other business-critical transactions. The convergence of services
 through the Internet means that the next generation data networks
 will have to support the negotiation and assurance of QoS. In
 recognition of this need, several efforts have been launched.
 The Integrated Services (intserv) service model is based on
 reserving resources for those connections or flows that need QoS
 assurance. To support this mode of operation, the RSVP signaling
 protocol has been developed, although other suitable protocols can
 be used as well. Recently, enhancements have been proposed for
 RSVP to handle aggregated flows. Complementary to Intserv, the
 Differentiated Services model classifies and marks all traffic into
 several classes at network entry so that core routers can simply
 forward packets according to the QoS requirements of different
 service classes. In another direction, the Multiprotocol Label
 Switching (MPLS) paradigm has been developed to enable the
 efficient support of QoS and the offering of new QoS capabilities.
 Currently, new mechanisms are under investigation to support QoS
 over wireless access networks for mobile users.
 This conference aims to bring together the work that has been
 carried out in the area of Quality of Service over Next Generation
 Data Networks.
 
 Topics to be covered in this conference include:
 
 Integrated and Differentiated Services
 QoS mapping from Integrated Services to Differentiated Services
 Active Buffer Management techniques, ex. RED.
 LAN QoS
 Multiprotocol Label Switching
 QoS guarantees in 3G wireless multimedia networks
 QoS based routing
 QoS management in multi-bearer IP networks including PSTN,
 ISDN, satellite, GSM, GPRS and CDMA networks
 Impact of media compression in QoS networks
 QoS over Mobile IP
 QoS enabled MAC design
 
 Submitted abstracts should be of approximately 250 words.
