Abstract
Quality of Experience (QoE) is becoming an important factor of User-Centred Design (UCD). The deployment of pure technical measures such as Quality of Service (QoS) parameters to assess the quality of multimedia applications is phasing out due to the failure of those methods to quantify true user satisfaction. Though significant research results and several deployments have occurred and been realized over the last few years, focusing on QoE-based multimedia technologies, several issues both of theoretical and practical importance remain open. Accordingly, the papers of this Special Issue are significant contribution samples within the general ecosystem highlighted above, ranging from QoE in the capture, processing and consumption of next-generation multimedia applications. In particular, a total of five excellent articles have been accepted, following a rigorous review process, which address many of the aforementioned challenges and beyond.
Highlights
Quality of Experience (QoE) can be defined as the overall delight or annoyance of the user of an application or service
As a result, emerging multimedia applications fail to provide a minimum level of QoE required for end users to keep them engaged with the content
QoE can have a major role in these multimedia applications to measure end-user satisfaction
Summary
Quality of Experience (QoE) can be defined as the overall delight or annoyance of the user of an application or service. Even though a significant number of novel multimedia applications are emerging, it is a challenge to provide better multimedia QoE for the end user.
