3rd Int. Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems
*** Abstract Submission Deadline: April 16th, 2010 ***
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the organizing committee of the Third International
Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems (PQS), we would like to
invite you to attend this exciting event that will happen in Bautzen
(near Dresden), September 6-8, 2010
(http://www.ias.et.tu-dresden.de/akustik/PQS2010/).
The Third International Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems is a
direct successor to the successful workshop series inaugurated in
Herne in 2003, and in Berlin in 2006.
The quality of systems which address human perception is difficult to
describe. An engineering approach to quality includes the
consideration of how a system is perceived by its users, and how the
needs and expectations of the users develop. Thus, quality assessment
and prediction have to take the relevant human perception and
judgement factors into account.
The workshop is intended to provide an interdisciplinary exchange of
ideas between both academic and industrial researchers working on
different aspects of perceptual quality of systems. Papers are invited
which refer to methodological aspects of quality and usability
assessment and evaluation, the underlying perception and judgment
processes, as well as to particular technologies, systems or services.
Contributions are welcomed in (but not limited to) the following areas
(please note that in all of these areas both theoretical and empirical
approaches are encouraged):
Methodologies and Methods of Quality Assessment and Evaluation
Metrology: Test Design and Scaling
Quality of Speech and Music
Quality of Multimodal Perception
Perceptual Quality vs. Usability
Semio-Acoustics and -Perception
Quality and Usability of
? Speech Technology Devices
? Telecommunication Systems and Services ? Multi-Modal User Interfaces
? Virtual Reality Product-Sound Quality
The workshop will take place in the "Bischof Bennohaus", a villa-like
conference center located in Bautzen, near Dresden, Germany. All
participants will be accommodated in this center. Accomodation and
meals are included in the workshop fees. A shuttle bus service will
collect participants from downtown Dresden and transport them to the
workshop venue.
We invite your papers, posters and demonstrations on these topics, and
look forward to seeing you in Dresden in September 2010.
