Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface This book is meant as a handbook centered around Quality of Experience of informationandcommunicationsystemsandservices,itsunderlyingconcepts,and itsapplication examples.It is based on the work accomplishedinroughlythe last two decades by researchers and practitioners in many diverse fields, such as telecommunications engineering, speech, audio and video processing, psycho- physics, human–computer interaction, psychology, ergonomics, and human-fac- tors research, as well as innovation and economics. Starting point for the book were the activities on the definition of the term ‘‘QualityofExperience’’(QoE)andrelatedconceptswhichhavebeeninitiatedby an international group gathered in the ‘‘European Network on Quality of Expe- rience in Multimedia Systems and Services,’’ Qualinet (COST Action IC 1003). These activities resulted in a so-called ‘‘White Paper on Definitions of Quality of Experience,’’ compiled in a first version in 2012, and updated in 2013, following an intense discussion among the Qualinet members and external experts. The Qualinet White Paper being limited to mere definitions, we felt the necessity to explaintheconceptstoalargercommunityinamoredetailedway,pavingtheway for their application for different types of systems and services. The result is the present book, the motivation for which is outlined in more detail in Chap. 1. Theeditorswouldliketothankallauthorswhohavecontributedtothebook,as well asallauthors and contributorsoftheQualinet White Paper which formed its inspiring basis. We would like to extend our thanks to some external and anon- ymous reviewers who helped shaping the content of some of the chapters. The compilation and formatting of the book was largely supported by Marc Hanisch,M.A.,whosework we are very gratefulfor. Finally, thanks toChristoph Baumann and his team at Springer for organizing the publication process.
