    WORKSHOP ON QOS SUPPORT FOR REAL-TIME INTERNET APPLICATIONS
 
                          In Conjunction with 
   The 5th IEEE Real-Time Technology and Applications Symposium
 
                 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
                      Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel
 
                         Tuesday June 1, 1999

 	      ADVANCE PROGRAM AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
 
                    http://www.cs.bu.edu/pub/rtaw99

 OBJECTIVE
 ---------
 The Internet is  increasingly being  used to support  a  wide range of
 applications   that  are   subject  to  QoS   constraints  for  proper
 operation.  This  1-day workshop  (preceding   the  1999 IEEE  RTAS'99
 Symposium) aims at bringing  together  researchers interested in   the
 design   and implementation of    novel protocols and architectures to
 support  the requirements of  such applications in  the context of the
 existing ubiquitous infrastructure of the Internet.
  
 The   Workshop  consists  of four   main  sessions  on  Differentiated
 Services, Routing  and Channel Access,  QoS Estimation and Adaptation,
 and  Resource  Allocation and Integration. Each  of  the sessions will
 feature  a set   of   technical presentations to   be  followed  by  a
 discussion. The Workshop Proceedings, which will be distributed to all
 Workshop attendees, will include all presentations as well as a set of
 Project Summaries and Position Statements from Workshop participants.
