The Fourth Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Services
http://www.sitis-conf.org/en/quamus-2017.php

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

 
Important dates
Submission deadline: August 27, 2017

    LaTex Formatting Macros

Paper submission will only be online via: Easychair
Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these
guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. All
submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression by at
least two reviewers. The organizers will examine the reviews and make
final paper selections.
 
Publication
All the papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the
conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published by IEEE
Computer Society and referenced in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and
major indexes. They will be available at the conference.
 
Registration
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
workshop. Workshop registration fee is determined by SITIS. A single
registration for the workshop or the conference allows attending both
events.
