Analysis of networking and Application Layer derived metrics for web Quality of Experience

Subjective assessment for measuring the Quality of Experience may require time-consuming and often expensive methods, and yet, quantitative and accurate user scores are desired. In order to obtain valid correlation between analytical model and user scores, assessment based on networking perspectives and human perception is required. In this study, we have utilized the orthogonal arrays using the Taguchi approach to construct the experiment to characterize the application as well as network performance metrics in our QoE assessment model for web-based systems.
