Quality of service (QoS) middleware is a core technology that will drive the next paradigm in distributed computing. It underlies how computer researchers are addressing the technical demands caused by the exponential growth of Internet activity, the demand for intensive computing in terms of multimedia and distributed applications, and the ...

Service quality in TINA-quality of service trading in open network architecture
Proceedings First International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Workshop, 1998Enterprise level QoS issues are discussed, from which QoS evolution paths are derived. Service level QoS issues are identified and they have been studied as apart of service quality issues in TINA service architecture. TINA stream binding and its role in the TINA QoS framework are presented.

Constraint-based routing is an invaluable part of a full- fledged Quality of Service architecture. Unfortunately, QoS routing with multiple additive constraints is known to be a NP-complete problem. Hence, accurate constraint-based routing algorithms with a fast running time are scarce, perhaps even non-existent.

An Approach to Quality of Service
2004Network Quality of Service (QoS) criteria of interest include conventional metrics such as throughput, delay, loss, and jitter, as well as new QoS criteria based on power utilization, reliability and security. In this paper we suggest a theoretical framework for the characterization and comparison of adaptive routing algorithms which use QoS as the ...

Service quality evaluation by service quality performance matrix
Total Quality Management & Business Excellence, 2003Excellent service quality and high customer satisfaction is the key issue and challenge for today's service industry. Customer perception (satisfaction) and customer expectation (importance) determines the service quality performance. Questionnaires help service providers to realize their service quality performance, and the weighted average of ...

The Quality Dimension. Evaluating Quality of Service and Quality of Life in Human Services
The British Journal of Social Work, 1992SUMMARY This paper addresses the issues, for those involved in planning and managing human services, of evaluating the quality of such services as part of the service provision process. It begins by examining the nature of quality itself and moves on to look at the links between quality of life and quality of service in human services. It then assesses
