Approaching Application Performance

• Metrics for network applications
• E.g. MOS as indication of VoIP performance
• Ranges of network behaviors
• Models of dependence
• ITU Y-1541 exemplar

Approaching User Experience

• User-driven application performance
• Examples
• Interaction with 3D models
• Collaboration with multiple models/data/voice/vide
  o
• Massive data set manipulation
• Typical applications
• 3D Visualization on remote server
• Distributed file systems
