This volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
contains the set of papers accepted for presentation at the 5th
International Workshop on Quality of future Internet Services
(QofIS 2004) and at the two one-day workshops -
locatedwithQofIS2004, namelythe1stInternationalWorkshoponQoSRouting
(WQoSR 2004) and the 4th International Workshop on Internet
Charging and QoS Technology (ICQT 2004). QofIS 2004, the ?fth
international event, was organized under the umbrella of the E-NEXT
Network of Excellence on Emerging Networking Experiments and
Technologies, which started its activities in January 2004. QofIS
2004 took place on September 29 30, 2004 at the Telef onica
premises in Barcelona, and was arranged by the Universitat Polit
ecnica de Catalunya (UPC). QofIS 2004 in Barcelona followed the
highly successful workshops in Stockholm in 2003, Zuric ] h in2002,
Coimbrain2001, andBerlinin2000.ThepurposeofQofIS2004, asofall QofIS
events, was to present and discuss design and implementation
techniques for providing quality of service in the Internet.

In this context, the focus of the QofIS 2004 workshop was on the
provisioning of Quality of Service in the Emerging Networking
Panorama, assessed by results of experiments carried out in
simulation platforms and test-beds, and given the progressive
irruption of optical technologies."
This rigourous and self-contained book describes mathematical and,
in particular, stochastic methods to assess the performance of
networked systems. It consists of three parts. The first part is a
review on probability theory. Part two covers the classical theory
of stochastic processes (Poisson, renewal, Markov and queuing
theory), which are considered to be the basic building blocks for
performance evaluation studies. Part three focuses on the
relatively new field of the physics of networks. This part deals
with the recently obtained insights that many very different large
complex networks - such as the Internet, World Wide Web, proteins,
utility infrastructures, social networks - evolve and behave
according to more general common scaling laws. This understanding
is useful when assessing the end-to-end quality of communications
services, for example, in Internet telephony, real-time video and
interacting games. Containing problems and solutions, this book is
ideal for graduate students taking courses in performance analysis.
This rigorous, self-contained book describes mathematical and, in
particular, stochastic and graph theoretic methods to assess the
performance of complex networks and systems. It comprises three
parts: the first is a review of probability theory; Part II covers
the classical theory of stochastic processes (Poisson, Markov and
queueing theory), which are considered to be the basic building
blocks for performance evaluation studies; Part III focuses on the
rapidly expanding new field of network science. This part deals
with the recently obtained insight that many very different large
complex networks - such as the Internet, World Wide Web, metabolic
and human brain networks, utility infrastructures, social networks
- evolve and behave according to general common scaling laws. This
understanding is useful when assessing the end-to-end quality of
Internet services and when designing robust and secure networks.
Containing problems and solved solutions, the book is ideal for
graduate students taking courses in performance analysis.
