IEEE Communications Society
2011 International Communications Quality and Reliability (CQR) Workshop
 

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 2011 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.

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:

Segment 1: The Realities of Deploying LTE
The 3GPP standards body has spent years defining LTE.  Mobile network operators are putting those standards to practice with an aggressive build-out of LTE over the past year.  This segment will examine the quality, reliability, and security of production LTE networks.  Particular emphasis will be placed on gaps in LTE standards for network quality, reliability, and security.

Segment 2: Smartphone Impact on Mobile Data Networks
The smartphone, the smartuser, and mobile apps have altered the mobile usage paradigm.  New uses for mobile devices have been created and this has changed how people use mobile data.  This segment will examine how the mobile data usage model has impacted the quality, reliability, and security of the  mobile data network.

Segment 3: Supply Chain Integrity to Ensure Cyber Security
This is a current major topic in the international cyber security world as there is substantial international efforts to address how to validate and ensure the integrity of communication supply chain components (hardware-only, software only, hardware-software systems).  This is a key area of policy discussion due to the global growth in outsourcing, multi-national vendor products and solutions, software controls, and cyber crime/terrorism.

For Keynote Speakers, please see the Keynote Speakers page

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:

  • Grid and Distributed Computing
  • Mobile and Ad Hoc Networks
  • Overlay Networks
  • Multimedia Networks and VoIP Services
  • VPN, MPLS and Multicast Services
  • Web Services
  • Broadband Audio Visual Services
  • Multi-sensory Communications
  • Current and Next-generation Internet
  • Emerging Technologies and Services

The detailed technical area includes:

  • Measurements Techniques
  • Network Architecture and Design
  • Network Security
  • Network Survivability
  • Operations, Administration and Maintenance
  • QoS Metrics and Measurement
  • QoS Policy and Assessment
  • QoE Assessment and Management
