Correspondence Florian Wamser Email: florian.wamser@informatik.uniwuerzburg.de Summary The heterogeneity and variability of Internet applications has increased considerably in recent years. Applications such as video streaming are responsible for a large part of data traffic on the Internet. Internet telephony and video conferencing systems have become part of our daily lives. At the same time, the Internet of Things is striving to exceed previous expectations regarding the number of devices. Furthermore, the proliferation of video games, virtual reality applications, and 360◦ video applications is increasing. All this leads to specific but different requirements from applications to frameworks, service platforms, and networks. For each service, users desire special service criteria, such as smooth interactivity, fast downloads, high availability, or extensive content. Such requirements can usually be summarized under the term Quality of Experience, i.e., the overall satisfaction of a user with the system currently in use. In the age of big data and dynamic networks, Quality of Experience is still looking for its place, and good solutions are in high demand. This Special Issue addresses the latest advances and challenges in analysis, design, modeling, measurement, and performance evaluation of Quality of Experience and Quality of Experience-oriented metrics and management.
