With the rapid growth of streaming media applications, there has been a strong demand of Quality-of-Experience (QoE) measurement and QoE-driven video delivery technologies. While the new worldwide standard dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) provides an inter-operable solution to overcome the volatile network conditions, its complex characteristic brings new chall...

Future wireless systems are expected to provide a wide range of services to more and more users. Advanced scheduling strategies thus arise not only to perform efficient radio resource management, but also to provide fairness among the users. On the other hand, the users’ perceived quality, i.e., Quality of Experience (QoE), is becoming one of the main drivers within the schedulers design. In th...

Quality of Experience (QoE) has become an indispensable phenomenon in the ever-growing research facets of multimedia community. Context-aware QoE needs better framework to meet the demands of mobile video environments. The proliferation of various wireless technologies have endorsed wide spread usage of video applications such as 3D games and 3D movies. This work describes a novel machine learn...

Motion picture producers, providers and equipment developers have to deeply consider end user perception of the application being often expressed in terms of a capacious Quality of Experience (QoE) concept. QoE is affected across the whole application delivery chain including content digitisation and compression, its network delivery and reproduction. During recent years enormous research effor...

How to deliver videos to consumers over the network for optimal quality-of-experience (QoE) has been the central goal of modern video delivery services. Surprisingly, regardless of the large volume of videos being delivered everyday through various systems attempting to improve visual QoE, the actual QoE of end consumers is not properly assessed, not to say using QoE as the key factor in making...

Wireless technology is continuously evolving, and the development of new versions of adaptive protocols and mechanisms are at their peak to achieve high performance in network-based applications and services. LTE networks offer broadband wireless access to users who can benefit from high data rate applications such as video streaming. However, the high energy consumption of these applications h...

Multimedia systems and applications have recently started to integrate the sense of touch and force feedback in the human-computer interaction. Surprisingly, measuring the quality of experience (QoE) when haptic modality is incorporated in a virtual user interface has received limited attention from the research community. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy for measuring the quality of experi...

In this work, a new approach to the definition of the quality of experience is presented. By considering the quality of service as the baseline, that portion of the QoE that can be inferred from the QoS is excluded, and then the rest of the QoE is approached with the notion of QoE at a Boundary. With the QoEaaB as the core of the proposed approach, various potential boundaries, and their associ...

Cloud computing is gaining growing interest from industry, organizations and the research community. The technology promises many advantages in terms of cost saving by allowing organizations and users to remotely gain access to a huge pool of data storage and processing power. However, migrating services to cloud computing introduce new challenges in performance and service quality. Quality of ...
