[Tccc] Call for Papers -- QoMEX'10 -- Quality of Multimedia Experience

Dear colleague,


the International Workshop on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX)
brings together leading professionals and scientists who are developing
methods for evaluating multimedia quality as user experience. Following
the very successful first workshop in July 2009 in San Diego, the second
one will be held in Trondheim, Norway, on June 21-23, 2010.

Typically, multimedia processing algorithms are evaluated using
objective metrics or through subjective testing in a controlled
environment. However, perceived user experience is psychological in
nature and changes in different environmental conditions and with
different multimedia devices. Therefore, new techniques are needed to
assess and enhance multimedia experience from the user perspective.
QoMEX'10 is an international forum to gather experts from academia and
industry to present the latest developments on evaluation of multimedia
quality based on user experience.

QoMEX'10 features oral presentations, exhibits, panels and poster
sessions in order to provide attendees with various channels to exchange
and acquire information about the latest developments and future trends
in the field of multimedia user experience.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- User Experience Assessment and Enhancement: New metrics to define
quality of user experience, interaction between auditory, visual,
affective and other modalities and their impact on user experience, UI
design, user experience rendering, user experience acquisition, human
and multimedia device interaction, multimedia quality evaluation tools
for generic and specific applications.

- Visual User Experience (Image/Video/Graphics): Objective quality
metrics, subjective quality evaluation, psycho-visual modeling,
quality-centered processing, compression and transmission, artifacts
reduction, relationship between errors/noise/losses to human perception,
display-specific processing, 3D Video, quality evaluation in HD and
beyond, quality evaluation in HDR content, quality issues in streaming
video.

- Auditory User Experience (Speech/Audio): Psycho-acoustic modeling,
quality assessment of interactive speech applications, VoIP, modeling
based on human auditory perception, intrusive/non-intrusive models for
quality evaluation.

- QoE for virtual, augmented and mixed realites: 3D audio, 3D video and
multimodal representation, immersiveness, embodied interaction, haptic
interaction, other modalities.

- Link between QoS, QoE and Acceptance: Innovation management based on
QoS and QoE, business models, value of QoE, relationship between QoE and
price.

- Psychological and sociological dimension of QoE: Physiological and
neurotechnological measurement techniques, modality concepts and
modality interaction, interaction and communication, semantics, user groups.

- Standardization Activities in Multimedia Quality Evaluation:
Subjective evaluation methods, benchmarking efforts, databases and
multimedia content characteristics, testing conditions, new objective
metrics and models for upcoming standards, terminology definitions.


Examples of applications include VoIP, Video
conferences/Telepresence/Video chats, Virtual/mixed reality for games,
education, training, arts, etc.
