Dear Colleagues,
Due to multiple requests, the deadlines for the 1st workshop on QoE Centric
Management (QCMan - part of IM 2013) have been extended.
Both the paper registration & submission deadline have been extended to January
18, 2013.
Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP.
CALL FOR PAPERS : QCMAN 2013
1st IFIP/IEEE Workshop on QoE Centric Management - Part of IFIP/IEEE IM 2013
Ghent, Belgium, 31 May 2013
http://www.qcman.org
ABSTRACT REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 28 December 2012
PAPER SUBMISSIONS DUE: 4 January 2013
The First IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Quality of Experience Centric
Management (QCMan) will be held in conjunction with IFIP/IEEE IM 2013 in Ghent,
Belgium, from May 27-31, 2013. The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE
Communications Society (ComSoc) & IFIP and supported by the Technical
University Eindhoven and Ghent University-iMinds. The workshop is endorsed by
the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). In recent
years, the Internet has evolved from a pure packet forwarder to a provider of
complex and high demanding services and applications (e.g., video, voice,
on-line gaming, cloud applications). These services and applications are
typically managed through a set of Quality of Services parameters (e.g. packet
loss, delay, jitter). However, it is widely agreed that the management of these
services and applications should be centered on their quality as perceived by
the end user: the Quality of Experience (QoE). However, this QoE centric
management is greatly challenged in todays Internet by (i) the stringent QoE
requirements of the supported services and applications (e.g., timing
constraints, loss intolerance) and users (e.g., unpredictability of user
behavior, request for high quality services), (ii) the plethora of service
consumption possibilities (e.g. for video: live vs on-demand, managed vs
over-the-top), (iii) the inherent complexity of services and applications which
can be offered to users in several ways to reach the same QoE level and (iv)
the difficulty in assessing the quality as perceived by the end user also due
to insufficient insight in the psychological and sociological factors of the
service and application consumption. QCMan 2013 aims at providing an
international forum for researchers addressing these challenges. QCMan 2013
will combine original full paper presentations with a motivating keynote to
thoroughly explore this challenging topic.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Paper submissions must present original, research or experiences. Late-breaking
advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also
encouraged. Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for
publication elsewhere can be submitted. Each submission must be written in
English, accompanied by a 75 to 200 word abstract and a list of up to 5 key
words. There is a length limitation of 6 pages (including title, abstract,
figures, tables, and references) for workshop papers. Papers exceeding these
limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected
without further review. At least one author of accepted papers must be present
at the workshop, to present the paper. Accepted papers will be published in the
IFIP/IEEE proceedings (electronically and on-line on IEEE Xplore) and indexed
accordingly.
Authors should submit their papers in PDF, postscript, or Word formats via JEMS
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1742).
