Adaptive Hypermedia research aims to provide personalised educational material that ensures a positive learning experience for the end-users. However, user experience is dependent not only on the content served to them, but also on the user perceived performance of the e-learning system. This leads to a new dimension of individual differences between Web users: the end-user Quality of Experience (QoE). We have proposed a solution for Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) that provides satisfactory end-user QoE through the use of a new QoE layer. This layer attempts to take into account multiple factors affecting QoE in relation to the delivery of a wide range of Web components such as text, images, video, audio.}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @inproceedings { type={inproceedings }, cite={312}, title={End-point Synchronisation & Handover For Multi-homed Services}, booktitle={IEE Proceedings-Communications}, year={2006}, publisher={PEL}, organization={PEL}, abstract={It is proposed to implement a synchronised routing table at the transport layer, referred to as an}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @inproceedings { type={inproceedings }, cite={314}, title={Evaluation of an Intelligent Utility-Based Strategy for Dynamic Wireless Network Selection}, booktitle={Autonomic Management of Mobile Multimedia Services}, year={2006}, publisher={Performance Engineering Lab}, organization={Performance Engineering Lab}, abstract={In the case of next generation wireless networks, different users with}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @inproceedings { type={inproceedings }, cite={320}, title={Economic Model for Cost Effective Network Selection Strategy in Service Oriented Heterogenous Wireless Network Environment}, booktitle={10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations & Management Symposium}, year={2006}, publisher={Performance Engineering Lab}, organization={Performance Engineering Lab}, abstract={This paper describes and formalises the Service}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @inproceedings { type={inproceedings }, cite={451}, title={Efficient Delivery of Multimedia Streams over Broadband Networks using QOAS}, booktitle={IEEE Trans. on Broadcasting}, year={2006}, abstract={Quality Oriented Adaptation Scheme (QOAS) is}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @proceedings { type={proceedings }, cite={397}, title={Endpoint Admission Control for VoIPoWLAN }, year={2006}, address={Portugal}, abstract={In this paper a Call Admission Control (CAC)}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @proceedings { type={proceedings }, cite={429}, title={Fine Grained Content-Based Adaptation Mechanism for Providing High End-User Quality of Experience with Adaptive Hypermedia Systems }, year={2006}, abstract={New communication technologies can enable Web users to access}, </bibtex> <bibtex> @proceedings { type={proceedings }, cite={430}, title={Framework for Interactive Personalised IPTV for Entertainment}, year={2006}, abstract={Interactive IPTV is seen as the future for delivering TV services as it brings all the benefits of computer-based IP networking to the residential viewers.

The multi-homing feature of SCTP is used to allow connections to several 802.11b Access Points (AP's). Probing packets that model VoIP encoded data at various transmission rates are used to obtain quality metrics from each of the available networks. Handover decisions are made based on the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) calculated from the ITU-T E-Model for voice quality assessment using the obtained measurements. The handover mechanism is shown to operate in 802.11b networks with heterogeneous transmission rates using multiple VoIP codecs. The results show a high correlation between the MOS predicted by the proposed mechanism and the MOS experienced by a VoIP call present in the network. Results verify the accurate operation of the scheme using multiple VoIP codecs at various transmission rates. A simulation showing an SCTP endpoint handover between heterogeneous transmission rate AP's is presented.}, keywords={SCTP, VoIP}, author={J. Fitzpatrick, and S. Murphy, and J.
