UMBU: Um Framework para Experimentação e Avaliação de QoE em Transmissões Multimídia
Abstract
Among the leading available solutions for network multimedia Quality of Experience (QoE) analysis, EvalVid is the primary open source reference in this area. However, this tool has numerous shortcomings ranging from the installation to QoE analysis, imposing severe restrictions that limit the operationalization of large-scale evaluations. In view of this, this paper proposes a breakthrough in the multimedia transmission QoE experimentation field, the Unified Multimedia-based Network Evaluation Platform (UMBU), a framework for multimedia experimentation and evaluation featuring a ubiquitous interface for refined management of experiments-related operations, as well as to provide a series of mechanisms that allow the conduction of multiple assessments in a scalable and flexible way.
