In this paper, we introduce a foundational model for specification of QoS attributes at application level. The model handles QoS attributes as semantic constraints within a graphical calculus for mobility. In our approach QoS attributes are related to the programming abstractions and are exploited to select, configure and dynamically modify the underlying system oriented QoS mechanisms. date: 2004 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume: 2772 publisher: Springer pagerange: 185-187 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-540-39910-0_21 refereed: TRUE isbn: 3-540-21002-4 book_title: Verification: Theory and Practice editors_name: Dershowitz, Nachum official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-39910-0_21 funders: R.
