Building QoS into Distributed Systems: IFIP TC6 WG6.1 Fifth International Workshop on Quality of Service (21-23 May 1997)

The proceedings from the Fifth International Workshop on Quality of Service, held in New York City in May 1997, highlight significant advancements and discussions in the realm of distributed systems. Andrew T. Campbell, along with numerous contributors, delves into the complexities of ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) within these systems, a crucial aspect as the demand for reliable and efficient communication networks grows.

This collection encapsulates diverse approaches and innovative solutions that researchers and practitioners have devised to tackle the challenges posed by QoS requirements. Readers will encounter a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, illustrating the importance of collaboration in advancing technology in the field of information and communication. The workshop proceedings provide a valuable snapshot of the state of research at the time, contributing to ongoing discussions and future developments in designing robust distributed systems capable of providing high-quality service.
