This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Quality of Future Internet Services, QofIS 2004, the First International Workshop on Qos Routing, WOoSR 2004, and the 4th International Workshop on Internet Charging and Qos Technology, ICQT 2004, held in Barcelona, Spain, in September/October 2004.

The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of around 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Internet applications, local area and ad-hoc wireless networks, service differentiation and congestion control, traffic engineering and routing, enforcing mobility, algorithms and scalability for service routing, novel ideas and protocol enhancements, auctions and game theory, charging in mobile networks, and QoS provisioning and monitoring.
