Abstract

In this paper, we pioneer a context-aware approach for quality of experience (QoE) modeling, reasoning and inferencing in mobile and pervasive computing environments. The proposed model is based upon Context Spaces Theory (CST) and influence diagrams (IDs) to handle uncertain and hidden complex inter-dependencies between user-perceived and network level QoS and to calculate overall QoE of the users. This helps in user-related media, network and device adaptation, creating user-level SLAs and minimizing network churn. We perform experimentation to validate the proposed approach and the results verify its modeling and inferencing capabilities.
