In recent years, it has been realized that the success of multimedia services or applications relies on the analysis of the entire user experience (UX). The relevance of this paradigm ranges from IPTV to video-on-demand systems offering professional TV and user-generated content that is consumed and produced ubiquitously. To obtain a pleasurable and ubiquitous user experience a large amount of aspects have
to be taken into account. Major challenges in this context include the identification of relevant UX factors and the quantification of their in influence on Quality of Experience
(QoE).
In the particular scenario of ubiquitous production and consumption of content, context awareness and assessment of users' expectations play an essential role. This is further justified by the emergence of new multimedia enhancement techniques, notably 3DTV and Free Viewpoint.
In the support of ubiquitous QoE the acquired knowledge on the context and on identified parameters affecting users' experience could be used to improve multimedia applications and their associated content delivery mechanisms.

| Workshop objectives |
|
The objective of this workshop consists in collecting and developing know-ledge on the following three main topics defining the session structure of the workshop:
- Context awareness for multimedia applications (video on demand, live broadcast, 3DTV, IPTV, social aspects, sensors, GPS, semantics, energy efficiency)
- Content and context aware quality measurements (usergenerated & professional content, live & on demand)
- Assessing and supporting QoE in ubiquitous scenarios (constant and variable influence factors).
|
|
| Research topics |
|
The central research question of the workshop consists in determining key elements (including content and context information) for assessing and supporting QoE ubiquitously.
- QoE in ubiquitous scenarios
- Context awareness
- Subj./Obj. quality evaluation in the context of use, context-aware solutions (situation specificity, interactivity, user-generated & professional content)
- Interplay between ubiquitous delivery and QoE support
- 3D Multimedia and Free ViewPoint
- QoE support for interactive multimedia
