and proposes how these issues should be addressed in the period 2007-2012. The R&D activities identified in this Functional and<br />

Strategic Plan fall within the scope of the ABC and ambient intelligence concepts described before.<br />

More precisely, <strong>CTTC</strong> aims at providing a multidisciplinary approach to address end-to-end QoS, which will be essential in ABC<br />

environments. In this context, QoS concerns the ability to obtain correctness and service-level guarantees such as timeliness,<br />

availability, fault tolerance, survivability for applications in the environments mentioned before, which can be large-scale and<br />

multi-technology. When thinking of ambient intelligence, the problem of meeting QoS requirements is made harder due to the<br />

ubiquitous networking environment and high data rate services envisaged.<br />

This end-to-end QoS is approached by <strong>CTTC</strong> in complementary research lines, which are depicted below.<br />
