QoE-FI 2016 - Workshop on Quality of Experience-based Management for Future Internet Applications and Services

Recent technological advances have enabled a constant proliferation of novel immersive and interactive
services that pose ever-increasing demands to our communication ecosystem. Examples are: social TV,
immersive environments, mobile gaming, UHD(4K/8K), 3D virtual worlds, just to cite a few. Furthermore, the
ongoing migration of end-to-end multimedia communication ecosystem to the cloud requires improved dynamic
resource provisioning and parallelization of media processing tasks that considers the end-user and
application-related QoS /QoE requirements. Using multiple independent multimedia cloud services that may
compete for the resource poses additional challenges to provide high quality-of-experience (QoE) for the
aggregated service.
In this dynamic context, network and service providers are struggling to achieve higher levels of user
satisfaction through new and better multimedia experiences. This will be also accelerated by adopting evolution
on Future Internet and 5G Communications. Future Internet has been designed to overcome current limitations
and to address emerging trends that impact on multiple aspects including: network architecture, content and
service mobility, diffusion of heterogeneous nodes and devices, new forms of user centric/user generated
content-aware provisioning and Communications (M2M, IoT).
