IEEE EUROCON Special Session : From QoS to QoE and Back July 1-4, 2013 Zagreb, Croatia
Purpose: --------- In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the use of multimedia applications over the Internet. Nowadays video streaming accounts for a large fraction of all bandwidth used, and Internet Telephony and IP-based teleconferencing systems have become part of our daily lives. The way users perceive the quality of these services is critical both for the users themselves and for the content and service providers. In turn, the quality of these services depends strongly on the underlying transport network and its performance. It is therefore very important to understand how the network-level QoS (Quality of Service) is related to the services' Perceptual Quality and QoE (Quality of Experience), and conversely, how can the latter be exploited in order to improve the performance of the networks and services that run on them. This Special Session will focus on the relationship between QoS, Perceptual Quality and QoE in general. We welcome submissions on the following topics: - QoS to QoE mappings - QoE-driven Network Management - Cross-layer optimization - Network QoS and QoE modeling - Integration of QoS and QoE models - Standardization issues Author instructions --------------------- Paper format is the same as for the general conference. All submissions to this special session will be subjected to peer review coordinated by the Special Session Chair(s) and TPC Chairs. The papers should be submitted via email to the Special Session organizers: - Martin Varela, [email protected] - Periklis Chatzimisios, [email protected] Important Dates ----------------- Manuscript submission: February 18th, 2012 (extended) Notification of acceptance: March 15th, 2013 Camera ready papers: April 15th, 2013 For more information please check the conference website at http://www.eurocon2013.org/special-sessions.html or contact the Special Session organizers.
