MQoE 2011 - MQoE IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Quality of Experience: Modeling, Evaluation, and Directions

IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Quality of Experience

held in conjunction with ISM, Dana Point, CA, December 5-7, 2011

Due to rapid advance of various multimedia applications and services, such as video telephony, mobile video broadcasting, and Internet Protocol television (IPTV), there is an increasing demand for accurately and effectively evaluating and improving Quality of Experience (QoE) of multimedia services. Accurate assessment of the perceived quality on multimedia content is crucial to audio/video codec development, network protocol planning, in-network quality monitoring, quality assurance of end users, etc. With an evolving demand from user aspect, traditional Quality of Service (QoS) metric is not accurate enough to represent actual requests for today multimedia applications. Instead, user experience such as preference, expectation, and context has becoming a critical issue in evaluating and improving the quality of multimedia content. The tasks are highly challenging because they require the inter-discipline knowledges of audio/video compression, multimedia communication, human perception systems, psychology, even sociology. The goal of this workshop is to bring a forum for world leading scientists and researchers in the related fields to exchange and present their expertise and perspectives of this topic and advance its technologies and applications.

MQoE is technically endorsed by the IEEE QoE for Multimedia Communications Interest Group (http://committees.comsoc.org/mmc/IG/QoEIG.asp) and by the COST Action IC 1003 Qualinet (http://www.qualinet.eu). Papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore.
