Call for Papers

IEEE Globecom'2010 Symposium on Communications QoS, Reliability and
Modelling

6-10 December, 2010, Miami, Florida, USA

Symposium Co-Chairs

Hideaki Yoshino, NTT, Japan (yoshino.hideaki@lab.ntt.co.jp)

Michael Devetsikiotis, North Carolina State University, USA
(mdevets@ncsu.edu)

Chonggang Wang, InterDigital Communications, USA (cgwang@ieee.org)

Scope

Communication networks are designed to provide service to their users
with acceptable quality level. For that, network traffic should be
analyzed and properly controlled so that the desired Quality of Service
requirements of applications and Services are achieved. The diversity of
applications characteristics and current network technologies demand
specific modelling and design tools. Moreover, different techniques
including analytical modelling, simulation, measurement and monitoring
are required in order to support design and dimensioning of
communication networks and services.

This symposium emphasizes the design, resource allocation, traffic
control, and performance evaluation advances required in order to
deliver the expected high quality and reliability in telecommunication
networks and services. The symposium will provide an international
technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas
and present results of ongoing research on the challenging issues
related to the requirements, metrics, measurement, management, and
dissemination, as well as performance modelling for the emerging era of
network services.

This symposium aims at papers that describe original and unpublished
contributions addressing various aspects of performance modelling, QoS
and reliability in computer and telecommunication networks. Authors are
invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to
the topics of interest listed below.
