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 Third International
Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems is a direct successor to the
successful workshop series inaugurated in 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

Music Quality of Multimodal
