Samenvatting:

The objective of the Fifth International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQOS) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners working in all facets of QOS research. While many workshops and conferences offer technical sessions on the topic QOS, none other than IWQOS, provide a single-track workshop dedicated to QOS research.



This work covers issues within QoS and discusses directions in building QoS into distributed systems. The following issues concerning QoS are discussed: human perception and dynamic QoS, programmability, guarantees in an integrated services internet, modelling, analysis and evaluation, uses within operating systems with regards to mobility in wireless networks and middleware solutions for end-to-end QoS. This volume contains the Fifth International Workshop Quality of Service, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in May 1997, Columbia University, New York, USA.
