Workshop on IP QoS and Traffic Control6-7 December 2007IST Congress Center, Lisbon, Portugal
|
Workshop Description
The
accelerating trend towards network convergence for both services and
technologies is bringing back to the fore the crucial issues of quality of
service and cost-effective traffic control. How can the so-called triple-play
of voice, video and data services co-exist and share resources in the access
and core networks? To what extent can we create the same qualities of service
in fixed and mobile networks allowing seamless integration? How can the network
allocate resources to meet the terms of Service Level Agreements?
To
answer questions like these depends on a sound understanding of the key
networking mechanisms of congestion control, traffic management and traffic
engineering. Following the success of the Workshop
on QoS and Traffic Control organized in December 2005 in Paris, it is
particularly opportune to organize this new workshop on the design, modelling
and performance evaluation of these mechanisms. It will allow us to highlight
key issues, appraise current understanding and highlight those areas in need of
further research. The workshop will focus on topics covered by the Euro-FGI work packages in Joint Research
Activity 2 including the following:
|
congestion control protocols active queue management and scheduling realizing differentiated qualities of service flow-aware networking traffic matrix inference constraint-based routing congestion control over wireless links engineering multiservice cellular networks (GPRS,
UMTS,...) cross-layer issues |
bandwidth sharing and fairness issues impact of pricing on congestion control and QoS admission control SLA management intra- and inter-domain traffic engineering adaptive load-sensitive routing QoS and service differentiation in WiFi, WiMax routing and traffic control in ad hoc and sensor
networks |
Presentations
at the workshop will be given by members of Euro-FGI and by a number of invited
experts in the domain. The in-network presentations will be chosen on the basis
of papers submitted to the technical programme committee according to the call for papers. The intention is to create a balanced
programme covering the scope of Euro-FGI research in the above areas and
presenting the most interesting results obtained.
