QUAMUS 2017

The fourth Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Services

Collocated with:
SITIS 2017 - The 13th International Conference on SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS

December 4-7, 2017, Jaipur, India

Organized by
Mohammed El Hassouni, Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco
Hocine Cherifi, University of Burgundy, Dijon, France

Scope of the Workshop

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
