Welcome!
Recent technological developments in broadband peer-to-peer and overlay networks, wireless and mobile networks, and grid computing have led to a wide variety of new challenging problems. These include the provisioning of Quality of Service (QoS), survivability, resilience and scalability in a wide range of emerging applications — such as large-scale multimedia systems — across both wired and wireless networks.
The Third International Conference on Quality of Service in Heterogeneous Wired/Wireless Networks (QShine 2006) focuses on all aspects of these challenges, including the QoS provisioning, performance optimization, cross-layer design, resilience, scalability and survivability of distributed applications in heterogeneous networks. It will serve as a forum for researchers from academia and industry to present the latest research results on QoS issues for both wired and wireless networks, with the hope to develop viable cross-layer design methodologies. The conference will feature prominent invited keynote speakers in the field, including Professor Nicholas F. Maxemchuk and Professor Mischa Schwartz from Columbia University, as well as Professor Kang Shin from the University of Michigan. The conference will also feature high-quality research papers, both in the main conference tracks, as well as in affiliated workshops and poster sessions.
Research papers of particular merit in the conference will be selected for consideration of fast track publication in a special issue for ACM/Springer Wireless Networks (WINET) (approved), and a special section in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (pending approval).
