  abstract = {Synchronizing multimedia playback among geographically distributed clients is a challenging task and is referred to as Inter-Destination Media Synchronization (IDMS). In this paper we discuss the uses cases of IDMS as identified within the SocialSensor Project and based on these use cases we derive a novel Adaptive Media Playout (AMP) scheme which aims on carrying out the process of synchronizing the media playback at the clients to a given synchronization point. We propose how visual and acoustic features can be used to achieve a QoE-aware and context-aware AMP scheme.},

  abstract = {In the past decade Adaptive Media Playout (AMP) has been intensively studied with respect to the detection of when to increase or decrease the playback rate in order to maintain a certain buffer fill state. In this paper we subjectively assess the QoE of AMP with respect to non-periodically and randomly selected content sections of a video sequence by us- ing crowdsourcing. Furthermore, we introduce features that allow to quantify the distortion for audio and video that are caused by increasing or decreasing the playback rate. With these preliminaries we study the correlation between the introduced features and the subjectively assessed QoE. Therefore, we derive a utility model that allows to estimate the QoE with the introduced features. We instantiate and validate the model by the use of the data gathered by the conducted study.},
