CALL FOR PAPERS INVITED SESSION ON BANDWIDTH AND SERVICE QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE INTERNET 5th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI 2001) Orlando, Florida, USA July 22-25, 2001 Scope Internet is undergoing a major transformation from being a best effort network to a well organized and well managed system with built-in intelligent protocols to provide predictable performance. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has developed and incorporated a number of new protocols and techniques for managing and allocating network bandwidth and supporting service quality. For bandwidth allocation and management, COPS (Common Open Policy Service) clients and servers work to convey policy decisions and allocate and recover bandwidth across a domain. For QoS, RSVP provides quantitative guarantees by reserved paths and Diffserv provides qualitative assurances by using PHB (per hop behavior) and PDB (per domain behavior) for packets marked with DSCP (DS codepoints). MPLS installs LSP's (Label Switched Path) that satisfy Traffic Engineering requirements. As LSP's are set up and released, the available bandwidth metrics for various links are updated to reflect the current state of the network. An invited session on managing bandwidth and service quality through these new protocols and techniques is being organized at the SCI'2001 conference. This session will serve as a forum to present and discuss the latest research and simulation results of works by researchers and developers across the world. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Bandwidth management with COPS and MPLS Effects of shaping and packet coloring on multimedia streams Integrated operation of Intserv and Diffserv Aggregation of flows for scaling of RSVP VoIP performance over Diffserv networks Traffic Engineering architecture for the Internet Impact of congestion resolution schemes on QoS traffic Voice over MPLS Performance of RSVP-MPLS architecture FR/MPLS Network and service interworking Inter-provider MPLS signaling and LSP routing Inter-domain tunneling rules COPS Policy Server/Bandwidth Broker implementation issues Paper Submission Extended abstracts or paper drafts should be sent as per the following format: 1. Extended abstract of 500 to 1500 words or paper drafts of 2000 to 2500 words, in English. 2. Names, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses of all authors, with the name of the contact author underlined. The abstracts or papers can be submitted in ps or pdf format to session organizer at zubairi@cs.fredonia.edu by March 2nd, 2001 via email. Proceedings Accepted papers, which should not exceed six single-spaced typed pages, will be published by means of paper and electronic proceedings. Best papers will be selected for awards and recommended for journal publications. Multiple author books will be published by IIIS, based on the best-invited sessions, the best focus symposia or the best mini-conferences Session Organizer: Dr. Junaid Ahmed Zubairi Department of Mathematics and Computer Science College at Fredonia, State University of New York Fredonia, NY 14063, USA Tel: +1-716-673-4694 Fax: +1-508-256-8324 Email: zubairi@cs.fredonia.edu WWW: http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/~zubairi Session Co-organizer: Wajdi Al-Khateeb Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Kulliyyah of Engineering, Intl' Islamic University Malaysia Jalan Gombak, Kuala Lumpur 53100, Malaysia Tel: +603-2056-4574 Fax: +603-2056-4853 Email: wajdi@iiu.edu.my Important Dates: Extended Abstract/Draft Paper due: March 2nd, 2001 Notification of Acceptance: March 16th, 2001 Camera read copy due: April 13th, 2001 If you have questions concerning session paper submission or session content, please contact the invited session organizers at the addresses above.
