Scope and Motivation
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.
The aim of the “Communications QoS, Reliability and Performance
Modelling”
Symposium is to provide an international venue for the discussion of communications service
provisioning, the quality and mechanisms to support such services as well as the techniques
to model and analyze the performance and the design of communication networks. Authors are
invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the topics of interest
listed below:
- Quality in Multimedia Networks including Voice over IP and IPTV
