International Workshop on
Advanced Architectures and Algorithms
for Internet DElivery and Applications
Orlando, FL - June 15, 2005
co-sponsored by 
Innovations in content delivery systems continue
to have strong impact on our world, resulting
in a surge of research interest in both content
delivery applications and the web/network infrastructure
that supports novel applications based on Internet.
Scalability issues pose a number of challenging
problems to solve for both applications and
the underlying infrastructure. Accesses to multimedia
and QoS sensitive services through a large variety
of Internet devices require guaranteed performance,
resource availability and proximity of content
to the network access points.
While exact load and resource characterization
in the open Internet environment is difficult
to attain, some forms of performance assurance
are highly desirable, especially in the face
of large uncertainty. There is a number of open
research challenges in optimizing and improving
content delivery mechanisms and support for
delivered content.
The goal of this one-day workshop
is to bring together researchers, developers,
web service providers, application and network
designers from academia and industry to exchange
ideas about the problems they are facing and
to discuss recent and innovative solutions.
Topics of interest to this
workshop include (but are not limited to) performance
studies and solutions (algorithms, protocols,
architectures) that tend to improve experience
of users of services and applications based
on Internet.
The submissions to be presented at the workshop will be selected, based on their originality,
technical merit and topical relevance of their contents.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings that will be available at the workshop.
