Where Technology Meets Microeconomics and the User
Abstract
Research in telecommunications evolves more and more beyond traditional communications engineering and integrates the perspectives of a broad variety of stakeholders covering the entire value network into a joint holistic framework. In this talk, we will discuss key aspects of the resulting communication ecosystem and highlight some recent advances in the area of Quality of Experience as a pivotal example for the related multidisciplinary research approach.
