IEEE
Communications Society The IEEE CQR International Workshop is held annually with the purpose of bringing together industry and academic experts to present and discuss communications quality, reliability and security issues as they relate to real world issues. The output from the workshops adds to the community's body of knowledge and serves to inform, help form opinion, and to assist in the development of best practice and relevant standards. Continuing the tradition of this series of workshops, CQR 2013 will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of ongoing research in the areas listed below. This year, special focus will be on the challenging issues related to the requirements, metrics, measurement, management, and dissemination of Communications Quality & Reliability. Nicola Palmer, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, Verizon Wireless and BJ Neal, Chief Network Architect, Syniverse are Keynote Speakers. Please see the Keynote page for their bios. The Workshop has two program tracks: Industry-focused Strategic Track and Technical Paper Track. For the Strategic Track, 3 themes are organized into three segments with one segment on each day.
Segment 1 (Tuesday, May 14):
Mobile data usage projections continue to show exponential growth in utilization for the coming years. Is the network ready to handle the data storm? This segment will examine the impact high volumes of users, sessions, and bandwidth will have on the operation of access and IP backbone networks. This session will also examine the impact this traffic volume will have on the quality, reliability, and security of the network. Particular focus will be made on mobile video due to its high usage volume and stringent quality requirements. The goal of this session is to identify risks of rapid traffic growth and make concrete recommendations to improve quality of experience for subscribers.
Segment 2 (Wednesday, May 15):
New mobile devices cause shifts in the usage paradigm. Subscribers constantly find new uses to adapt the mobile device as an entertainment and productivity tool. App developers act as engines of innovation as they produce new software products to enhance the subscriber experience. The result is recurring and rapid shifts in the subscriber usage model and in subscriber expectations for the quality of experience delivered by the network. This session will examine the evolution of subscriber usage over recent years and look forward to project advances in devices, uses, and expectations. The goal is to foster discussion to better understand upcoming subscriber expectations for network quality, reliability, and security and draw conclusions that drive network development.
Segment 3 (Thursday, May 16):
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the new technology standard among mobile operators worldwide. Many operators continue to deploy and expand the technology in their home networks while also deploying LTE roaming with other operators on a global basis. There are many challenges in deploying any new technology, and the size and scope of this technology change presents challenges that are unique and significant. This segment will examine the challenges in deploying LTE and providing quality of service and enhanced user experience at home and while roaming abroad. This segment will also examine the challenges to provide LTE service quality for Telematics. In addition, there are 2 Panels:
Distinguished Expert Panel:
WebRTC and its impact on Quality, Reliability and
Security
(Wednesday,
May 15)
The WebRTC initiative supports rapid development and deployment of real-time media applications using HTTP and standardized API’s. A diverse group of OTT providers, vendors and network service providers is interested in the potential and challenges associated with these new developments. Among the challenges is the quality, security and reliability of the WebRTC applications: How much network bandwidth does each application consume; how many CPU cycles and how much memory is consumed in the communicating devices; how can we secure the communicating devices when unknown communicators seek to gain access to their hardware and what is the cost of the security process in terms of resource consumption; what are the operational and financial implications of the move toward WebRTC? This panel of experts will explore these challenges and the opportunities their resolution will make available. Issues to discuss include:
Operations Panel: Improving
Delivery with Structural Quality Measures
(Wednesday, May 15)
With chronic time-to-market pressures to quickly launch products and services, solution-providers and carriers value very short cycles. Yet, these partners are victimized by shortcuts, rework, extra cost and inefficiency from repeating test and defect removal work to make it “good enough” rather than using strong tools and discipline to get the solution right the first time. This panel is meant to complement discussion themes from the three workshop segments. Issues to discuss include:
For questions on the Strategic Track, please contact the General Program Co-Chairs. ************************************* For the Technical Paper Track, you are invited to submit a paper related to various aspects of QoS and Reliability for the following networks/services:
The detailed technical area includes:
Technical Paper Submission Guidelines Papers should describe original work, and be 4-6 two-column and single-spaced pages in IEEE conference style. Paper submission must be made via EDAS https://edas.info/14015. Manuscript Templates can be found on http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html, where a template of US Letter (MS Word 2003) is available. You can also download the template by clicking here msw_usletter_format_nov12.doc
Papers accepted for CQR 2013 will be included in the Workshop Proceedings, IEEE XPlore, and EI Index, with the exception that IEEE reserves the right to exclude any paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers that are removed from IEEE Xplore will not be available through the EI Index.
