Scope
Communication networks are designed to offer services to end-users with suitable Quality of Service (QoS)
level. To such an end, network traffic should be analyzed and appropriately controlled so that the desired
QoS requirements are achieved. The development of today’s applications, network technologies and
standards greatly leverages modeling and design tools. Furthermore, different methodologies including
analytical modeling, simulation, experimentation, and monitoring are needed to support designs of
communication networks and services. The aim of the “Communication QoS and System Modeling”
Symposium is to provide an international forum for the discussion of communications service provisioning,
the quality and mechanisms to support such services as well as the techniques to model and assess the
efficiency of communication networks. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers covering but
not limited to the topics of interest listed below:
? Quality, scalability, reliability, and
performance in network and their services,
including
o Internet
o Optical networks
o Autonomic systems
o Wireless and mobile networks
o Wireless and mobile networks
o Grid and distributed computing
o Wireless and mobile networks
o Multimedia networks in voice over IP
and IPTV
? Performance of large-scale experimental
platforms
? Standardization aspects of QoS and reliability
? Network Performance evaluation methodologies
o Network simulation
o Network modeling
o Network measurement and monitoring
? Design of networks and their services
? Cross-layer design, modeling and optimization
? Traffic economics
? Application/ service oriented networking
? Traffic workload modeling and characterization
? Traffic and workload control
? Traffic engineering and traffic theory
? Metrics and models for QoE
