SCOPE:
======
Nowadays, wireless communication networks’ users require more and more
quality of services they perceive (usability, availability, connection
loss, and integrity of the service). A new concept appeared with these
requirements: the Quality of Experience (QoE). Unlike the Quality of
Service (QoS), which describes the network ability to provide services from
a technical point of view, the QoE also comprises non-technical aspects,
which directly impact the user’s perception. Thus, QoS and QoE are
different but interdependent: the QoS level is a major component of the
perceived QoE. That is why QoS and QoE both have to be studied from design
to implementation. QoE includes some major services such as: Service
integrity defined by throughput, delay, jitter (delay variation) and data
loss; Security services (authentication, authorization, integrity and
confidentiality). This ensures the coexistence between these services to
satisfy the end-users that still represents a critical issue, particularly
in wireless communication networks. QoE and QoS management is classified
into four interdependent categories: network design (network dimensioning
and network topology), service and QoS provisioning (QoS mechanisms and
parameters), QoE and QoS monitoring and optimization (accurate measurement
of QoE and QoS to achieve an optimal strategy in order to provide the best
network performance).
The main aim of this Workshop is to review the state of the art, propose
new ideas and assess the actual research results and foresee future trends
related to this topic. Contributors and participants, from both industry
and academia, are highly encouraged to take active part in this Workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the IWCMC 2015 proceedings, and will
be submitted to IEEE digital library (IEEE Xplore).
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
· QoE metrics for different applications in the future Internet of
Things (IoT) and 5G
· QoE and QoS models for wireless multi-hop networks: Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSN), Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET), and Wireless Mesh
Networks (WMN)
· QoE and QoS optimization for Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
· QoE-based routing in Wireless Multi-hop Networks
· QoE-aware cross-layer design
· QoE monitoring and control in wireless communication networks
· Security services and QoS optimization
· QoE, security, and QoS optimization methodologies
· Standardization activities for QoE and QoS models
