Real-time applications on the Internet are becoming increasingly popular
and commercial. Examples of these include packetized audio enabled by
the numerous Internet telephony software packages, packetized video,
electronic commerce, computer telephony, web-searching, and other
web-based applications. The success of these applications will depend upon
a variety of factors including performance, quality of service, cost,
security, etc. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts to address
issues impacting the performance of real-time applications on the Internet.
Both theoretical and applied papers are of interest. Primary areas of focus
include, but are not limited to:
Performance issues of packetized audio and video applications
Internet performance measurements such as packet loss and delays
Tools to measure Internet performance and analyze data
Internet traffic data and characterization
Real-time protocols and their performance
Quality of Service metrics and guarantees
Systems engineering issues such as performance requirements
Load-balancing schemes
Bandwidth Reservation Schemes and related issues
Audio and Video compression mechanisms
Customer-perceived Audio and Video quality
Experiences with developing end-user software that enables real-time
applications
