On behalf of the
organizing committee of the PQS 2010 (Third International Workshop on
Perceptual Quality of Systems), we would like to invite you to attend this
exciting event that will happen in Bautzen, Germany, September 6-8, 2010. (http://www.ias.et.tu-dresden.de/akustik/PQS2010/). 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. Keynotes: “The importance of the individual
modalities (audio, haptic and video) for user interface design”, Soren
Bech, Bang & Olufsen a/s “P.OLQA-Modell: Objective listening
quality assessment”, Jens Berger, SwissQual AG “Wine Quality”, Britta
