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
Internetworking QoS
