Measuring of QoE for cloud applications

Abstract

According to NIST [3], cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services, that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Three service models are included in this cloud model, including cloud Software as a Service (SaaS), cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS), and cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Furthermore, the proposed applications of cloud computing may be related to consumer electronics, such as virtualization of consumer storage, and Cloud TV platforms that provide access to a number of Web applications, such as social networking, user generated video games, etc. [4].
