QUAMUS 2014 - Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Services

Today, there is an explosion of multimedia data production and consumption, through a multitude of new services in our connected world. The way users perceive the quality of these services is critical for the content providers and consumers. It is therefore necessary to relate the user centric perspective to the service’s Perceptual Quality and QoE (Quality of Experience) to the network-level QoS (Quality of Service). This workshop is dedicated to the relationship between QoS, Perceptual Quality and QoE in general. It will bring together researchers from academia and industry, to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, and report latest research efforts.
Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
QoE relation and mapping to QoS
QoE-driven network and service management
Network QoS and QoE modeling
QoE and QoS for emerging pervasive applications
QoE-aware Wireless Sensor Networks
Integration of QoS and QoE models
QoS and QoE correlation
Objective QoE metrics for audiovisual and various media
Novel subjective evaluation techniques for assessment of QoE
QoE evaluation methodologies for metrics
QoE for Mobile Multimedia Devices
QoE and Visual attention
QoE in ubiquitous scenarios
QoE for 3D Multimedia, web and IPTV content
QoE metrics for novel applications (e.g. augmented reality, cloud-based online gaming)
Standardization issue
