User evaluation of dynamic user-centric networking

Abstract

In user-centric networking users become the endpoint of their communication sessions. This approach intrinsically accounts for mobility management, as terminal handovers and session migrations are expected when the user moves. However, effectiveness of session migration procedure is not trivial to assess, because it mainly concerns the subjective impressions that human users have about their interaction with the system, thus a common approach is to carry out user-evaluation at live demos. In this paper we describe the user evaluation of our dynamic user-centric networking framework, done at a national science exhibition through a Voice-over-IP application running on top of it. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
