Call for Papers

We invite the submission of manuscripts presenting original research results to the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Quality of Service (IWQoS) 2025, which will be held from July 2-4, 2025, in Gold Coast, Australia.

Quality of Service (QoS) has long been a central focus for communications and networking researchers worldwide. While traditional QoS research areas continue to garner significant interest, emerging domains such as the Internet of Things, data centers, virtualization, cloud and fog computing, green computing, and artificial intelligence are driving a new wave of research into service guarantees related to QoS, Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Protection (QoP), Software Quality, Data Quality, and, more broadly, Quality of Information Technology.

For over two decades, IWQoS has established itself as a premier forum for presenting novel ideas on all QoS-related subjects. The 33rd International Symposium on Quality of Service (IEEE/ACM IWQoS 2025) aims to continue this tradition as an international platform for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the field. The scope of IWQoS encompasses both the latest theoretical advancements and experimental research papers.

Submission Guidelines

• Authors are invited to submit manuscripts not exceeding 10 single-spaced, double-column pages (including references and appendices) using a font size of 10 points.
• Manuscripts must be formatted according to the standard IEEE template for LaTeX or Microsoft Word. Templates can be downloaded by selecting “Conferences” in the IEEE Template Selector at https://template-selector.ieee.org/.
• The review process will be double-blind, requiring submissions to avoid revealing the authors' names and affiliations, as well as to refrain from obvious self-references. Papers that do not adhere to these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits.
• All submissions must be made electronically as PDF files.
• Submit your paper here: https://iwqos2025.hotcrp.com
