Abstract
This paper considers quality-of-service (QoS) issues in distributed network-based automation. Recent advances in distributed automation and overall use of modern ICT technologies have raised new kinds of QoS problems. Also the term service is changing due to the overall integration between automation and other information systems. This article gives an outline of the QoS field in automation and discusses its important features and research problems. A GPRS network measurement example is also given.
