“…Other proposals addressed the evaluation of QoE quantification methodologies but with a strong focus on a particular service. Within this group, some surveys focused on a specific field, such as mobile cloud computing [21,22] or multimedia services [23,24]. Shakarami et al [21] reviewed the mechanisms of offloading computation in mobile cloud computing environments.…”

“…However, the scope of the paper was very broad and encompassed proposals for any type of multimedia service, regardless of whether the services analysed were CIAs or not, thus ignoring their particularities. Laghari et al [22] provided a recent review of quality of experience (QoE) in the broader domain of cloud computing. The study compiled recent articles from the past few years but did not focus specifically on interactive applications deployed in the cloud.…”

A cloud-based interactive application (CIA) is an application running in the cloud with stringent interactivity requirements, such as remote desktop and cloud gaming. These services have experienced a surge in usage, primarily due to the adoption of new remote work practices during the pandemic and the emergence of entertainment schemes similar to cloud gaming platforms. Evaluating the quality of experience (QoE) in these applications requires specific metrics, including interactivity time, responsiveness, and the assessment of video- and audio-quality degradation. Despite existing studies that evaluate QoE and compare features of general cloud applications, systematic research into QoE for CIAs is lacking. Previous surveys often narrow their focus, overlooking a comprehensive assessment. They touch on QoE in broader contexts but fall short in detailed metric analysis. Some emphasise areas like mobile cloud computing, omitting CIA-specific nuances. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of QoE measurement techniques in CIAs, providing a taxonomy of input metrics, strategies, and evaluation architectures. State-of-the-art proposals are assessed, enabling a comparative analysis of their strengths and weaknesses and identifying future research directions.

The immersive development in computing and communication systems, especially the evaluation of multimedia technology, has created various new paradigms. One of the concepts that has popped up recently is the metaverse. The technology opens different environments to the users for rapid connection on any of the socio-cyber platforms. With the emergence of 3D virtual gaming and its association, this technology has become one of the hot research areas, whether the work on headsets or the quality of experience (QoE) while using recent headset models by users and assessment. In multimedia systems, gaming is the only domain that is successfully involved among users, which generates millions of dollars in revenue in a single day. However, the collaboration of the metaverse in the gaming industry takes the user experience to the next level in terms of being completely disconnected from the real-world scenario, which means a fully immersive virtual environment. It includes the concept of lightweight visualization, a place with free headset activities, and a moving, immersive 3D multimedia experience. Although these are the advantages of the collaborative approach, various QoE challenges, standard requirements, and media consumption problems have emerged. By analyzing these prospects, this paper contributes to two subdomains. First, a novel framework for securely connecting metaverse technology in multimedia gaming is proposed. While using conventional metaverse technology, the role of QoE is addressed in the general-purpose gaming environment deployment. Second, this paper presents a gamer-oriented experience and assessments for the betterment of technological maturity and future developments. In addition, this paper mentioned a possible solution to the list of comprehensive standard requirements and related challenges.

Software reliability and quality measurement has a long-lasting impact on the final products and user experiences. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and its various hybrid models, including fuzzy AHP, have been applied to software reliability and quality measurement in various aspects. Related studies indicate that limitations in the paired ratio scales of AHP may lead to misapplications, which most AHP users might not be aware of. To address this issue, the fuzzy cognitive network process (FCNP) is proposed as a promising alternative applied for software reliability and quality measurement. One application based Fuzzy AHP is revisited to demonstrate the feasibility and usability of the FCNP. The paper discusses conversion from the FAHP to the FCNP, examining their reproducibility, comparability, merits, and limitations. The proposed fuzzy CNP method can a valuable tool for software customers, designers, developers, testers, and purchasers, to evaluate the level of software reliability and quality in general applications within intelligent environment.
