This situation has generated a great interest in the development of techniques for the provision of quality of service guarantees in IP networks. Two proposals have already emerged from the IETF groups IntServ and DiffServ, but research and experiments are continuing, in order to identify the most effective architectures and protocols.</font> <p><font size=+1>The Italian Ministry for University and Scientific Research is funding a research programme, named MQOS, on these topics in the years 1999 and 2000. MQOS is organizing this International Workshop, aiming at the presentation high-quality recent research results on QoS in IP networks, and at the dissemination of the most relevant research results obtained within the programme.</font> <p><font size=+1> The proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and distributed to all Workshop participants. </blockquote> <center> <h2> <font color="#FF9900">CALL FOR PAPERS</font></h2></center> <blockquote><font size=+1> Contributions are invited on all topics concerning the provision of QoS guarantees in multiservice IP networks, including: <UL><LI>Architectures for the provision of QoS guarantees in IP networks <LI>End-to-end QoS in IP networks <LI>Characterization of traffic sources <LI>Analytical and simulation models for QoS estimation <LI>Experimental results on QoS <LI>Integration of the IntServ and DiffServ paradigms <LI>QoS multicast <LI>QoS in wireless/mobile IP networks </UL></font> </blockquote> <center> <h2> <font color="#FF9900">SUBMISSION GUIDELINES</font></h2></center> <blockquote><font size=+1> Papers written in English should not exceed 5000 words (approximately 15-20 pages).
