associated with customer calls and troubleshooting. Dr. Winkler
will also give an overview and update of work being done by the VSF
QoE Activity Group, which he co-chairs, as well as related ongoing
projects in standard organizations such as the Video Quality
Experts Group (VQEG), the International Telecommunication Union

Quality.� He has also been an active member and contributor of VQEG
since its founding in 1997. He was the chief scientist and
