Abstract:
This paper describes a novel approach to model quality of experience (QoE) in mobile environments. A meta-model is created to establish a set of parameters to dynamically describe the interaction between the user and the system, as well as the context in which it is carried and the attractiveness of that process. A uniform representation of user-system interaction in mobile contexts is provided. This helps user-related applications to determine QoE of users, and allows the comparison between different interaction records. Its run-time nature also allows context-aware applications to make model-based decisions in real-time to adapt themselves, and thus providing a better experience to users. As a result, this meta-model provides unified criteria for the inference and analysis of QoE in mobile contexts, as well as for implementing user profiling based on successful-QoE experiences.
