Improving quality of service ( QoS ) in both networks and end systems
has been
a long lasting research focus worldwide. The seventeen-year-long
success of
IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel
ideas on
all research subjects related to QoS. While QoS research for future
generations
of wired and wireless networks continues to captivate much interest,
recent
exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing,
industrial
communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of
research
interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience
(QoE) and
Quality of Protection (QoP) . The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both
theoretical
and experimental research on QoS related issues such as survivability,
availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource
provisioning
and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees.
Topics of
interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with
original
research results that have not been previously published or that are
not
currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions
will be
judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity,
relevance, and
correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9
single-spaced,
double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted
electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://edas.info/N8541">http://edas.info/N8541</a>).
All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical
Program
Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid
dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review
process, a
short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission
deadline as
close to the workshop as the publisher allows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(79, 65, 70);">The
proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However,
IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the
conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not
presented at
the conference.<br>
