| Abstract: |
The talk starts by presenting the current approaches for a QoE-aware service management in the Internet, i.e., application oriented or network management, which are mostly characterized by the tools available by the stakeholders implementing the process and also by their own interests. Then, the current limits and issues of these approaches are highlighted, together with the current directions of development in the field. These are mostly characterized by a strong evolution towards the virtualization of the services through the introduction of the SDN and NFV paradigms. These allow for a more flexible management of the services with a better control of the QoE and for a potential stronger cooperation among the different actors involved in the service provisioning chain. |
