Quality of Service (QoS) has long been the focus of communications and networking researchers worldwide. While traditional QoS research areas continue to attract much interest, recent exploration of Internet of things, data centers, virtualization, cloud and fog computing, cloud services, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in service guarantees with QoS, and its related metrics of Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Protection (QoP), Software Quality, Knowledge Base Quality or, more broadly, Quality of Information Technology.
For more than two decades, IWQoS has established itself as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all QoS-related subjects. IWQoS 2019 sets the goal to continuing to be a premier symposium and an international forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the field. The scope of IWQoS 2019 covers both newest theoretical and experimental research papers.
Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas:
QoS in Internet of Things (IoT)
QoS in cloud computing
QoS in mobile cloud and fog computing
Machine learning for QoS
Artificial Intelligence for QoS
Data analytics for QoS
Blockchain for QoS
QoP, user experience, security and privacy
QoS in software-defined networking
QoS in information-centric networking
QoS in mobile and next generation cellular networks
QoS in cyber-physical networks
System dependability, availability, resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks
Robustness against security vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures
QoS-aware scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control
Traffic engineering approaches and tools for QoS provisioning and evaluation
QoS evaluation metrics and methodologies
QoS parsing, identification and control
Quality of software
QoE in multimedia networks
Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification
Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management
Architectures and protocols for QoS, QoP or QoE support
Energy awareness in communication and computing systems
Design for future networks and computing systems with QoS in mind
