Call for papers

IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Communications (MMCOM2012)

Quality of Experience for Multimedia Communications 

Second Annual Workshop of IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee
(MMTC)

 

Organized in conjunction with 

IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2012)

3-7 December 2012, Anaheim, California, USA

 

It is now widely acknowledged that the adoption of new multi-modal media
necessitates mechanisms in order to assess and evaluate perceived multimedia
quality. The problem of understanding and enhancing Quality of Experience
(QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse environments has been and is
continuing to be the subject of intense research investigation. Considerable
efforts have been devoted to assessing QoE via objective or subjective means
for new and emerging multimedia services over modern fixed/mobile devices
(e.g. IPTV/HDTV/3DTV, Tablet video call, 3D smartphone). As of today though
we do not know how to manage and control QoE in a diverse heterogeneous
environment. The variables that affect QoE are just too many and span
several disciplinary areas, including multiple technologies, but also
psychology and sociology factors. Despite the efforts devoted to QoE
studies, managing and controlling user QoE is still an open issue. 

Topics of interest

The Second Annual Workshop of IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical
Committee (MMTC) focusing on Quality of Experience for Multimedia
Communications Workshop 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
that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:

 

.     QoE relation and mapping to QoS

.     KPI and KQI for the QoE definition

.     QoE models, their applications and use cases 

.     QoE inference from user behavior 

.     QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective,
online versus offline)

.     QoE for new wireless multimedia applications 

.     QoE-based routing and resource management 

.     QoE-aware cross-layer design 

.     QoE-based optimization in heterogeneous environments

.     QoE Metrics for various media applications

.     QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies

.     Standardization activities for QoE
