Prospective authors ar= e cordially invited to submit extended paper abstracts (1.5-2 pages) until = March 31, 2013 using the guidelines and tools available under http://pqs.ft= w.at/submission Best regards Alexander Raake, on behalf of the organizing committee ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------ Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------ Fourth International Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems PQS 2013 2-4 September 2013 Vienna, Austria http://pqs.ftw.at ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------ The fourth international workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems aims to = bring together leading professionals and scientists from different fields t= hat are all related to perceptual quality. Supported by ISCA and the Europe= an COST action Qualinet, this event will serve as a forum for an interdisci= plinary exchange of ideas between both academic and industrial researchers = working on different aspects of perceptual quality of systems. Inaugurated = in Herne/Mont Cenis (2003) and continued in Berlin (2006) and Bautzen (2010= ), PQS 2013 will be held in Vienna, Austria. User perceived quality of technical systems is grounded on human experience= and hence a highly complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Thus, any app= roach to quality assessment and prediction has to take the relevant human p= erception and judgment factors into account, an issue that has been address= ed by a number of scientific disciplines including psychophysics, cognitive= psychology, speech and audiovisual quality assessment, human computer inte= raction (HCI), usability and user experience research, and Quality of Exper= ience (QoE). Authors are invited to submit extended paper abstracts (1.5-2 pages) until = March 31, 2013 using the guidelines and tools available under the following= link: http://pqs.ftw.at/submission Contributions typically refer to methodological aspects of quality and usab= ility assessment and evaluation, the underlying perception and judgment pro= cesses, as well as to user perceived quality of particular technologies, sy= stems or services. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Methodologies and Methods of Quality Assessment and Evaluation * Metrology: Test Design and Scaling * Quality of Speech, Audio and Music * Quality of Images and Video * Quality of Haptics * Quality of Multimodal and Multi-sensory Perception * Perceptual Quality vs. Quality of Experience vs. User Experience vs. Usab= ility * Semio-Acoustics and -Perception * Quality Engineering Processes * Quality and Usability of - Speech Technology Devices - Interactive Telecommunication Systems and Services - Multi-Modal User Interfaces - Haptic and Olfactory Interfaces - Audiovisual, 3D and Virtual Reality Systems Important Dates: - Submission (Extended Abstracts): March 31, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2013 - Camera-ready submission: June 15, 2013 Local Organizing Committee: Raimund Schatz, FTW Sebastian Egger, FTW General Organizing Committee: Sebastian M=F6ller, TU Berlin Alexander Raake, TU Berlin Ercan Altinsoy, TU Dresden Tobias Hossfeld, University of W=FCrzburg Technical Program Committee: Alan Sharpley, Dynastat, USA Ina Wechsung, Telekom Innovation Laboratories, TU Berlin, Germany Katrien de Moor, Ghent University, Belgium Durand Begault, NASA-Ames Research Center, USA Hans W.
