Special Issue on  QoE in 2D/3D Video Systems
--------------------------------------------------------  

Statement of purpose of this special issue
        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 (e.g. immersive multimedia,
multimodal applications) over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g.  
IPTV/HDTV/UHD/3DTV, video  call, 3D smartphone, etc). However,  
controlling the QoE of these applications is difficult not  only  
because of their high data rate. The combination of multiple media in  
a single application  (multimodality) and the need to keep multiple  
media in synch across multiple parties means
that the problem of capturing and controlling QoE becomes  
multi-dimensional and cannot be  addressed through existing methods.  
Open questions that will be addressed include for instance:
*       How can we equalize the QoE perceived by different users in  
multimodal, immersive and
multiparty applications?
*       How will it be possible to engineer a closed-loop, QoE management  
framework where the
QoS-to-QoE mapping models are sufficiently accurate and stable?
*       How should data, media, network, control and application planes be  
orchestrated to
maximize QoE / minimize resource consumption?
*       How can 2D (SVC, HEVC etc) and 3D Coding (MVC, MPEG Part C, etc) affect 
QoE?


With reference to 2D/3D video, research topics of interest include but  
are not limited to:
*       QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective,  
online versus offline)
*       QoE Modeling and QoE-QoS Mapping
*       KPI and KQI for the QoE definition
*       QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies
*       Subjective evaluation methodology for 3D/multiview/free-view video,  
graphics, and
augmented and mixed reality
*       QoE Methodologies for 3D
*       QoE for novel applications (immersive media, multimodal applications 
etc)
*       Standardization activities for QoE
*       New databases and validation (especially for 3D signals)

Schedule:
*       Manuscript submission: April 30, 2013
*       Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2013
*       Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2013
*       Publication: November 2013
