Abstract
Quality Provisioning concept has been with us for at least 25 years and it started with the claim to be one of the necessary building blocks for multimedia content distribution and delivery. A lot of research has been done on Quality of Service and Quality of Experience by the ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia (SIGMM) community and other research communities. So where are we with respect to broader impact and deployment of Quality Provisioning in multimedia networks, systems and applications? Did it become a necessary building block for multimedia content delivery or not? During the talk I will go back and to the future, discussing my journey regarding quality topics ranging from Quality of Service (QoS) in multimedia networks and end systems, to Experiential Quality (QoE) for current and future multimedia applications. I will reflect on successes and failures of Quality Provisioning mechanisms, policies, algorithms, protocols and management frameworks in multimedia networks, systems and applications as they evolved from up to the point of an almost ubiquitous presence of multimedia services to the on-going discussions about network neutrality and multimedia service provisioning. I will also argue that the future for Quality Provisioning is bright with numerous exciting research problems since users expect at this point nothing but high quality multimedia content delivery anytime, anywhere, any content, and on any device.
