Specialist Task Force 354:
Guidelines and Tutorials for Improving the User Experience  
of Real-time Communication Services

The following are now available - Please take a look and give us your feedback!

Who we are: 

Team Leader: Bjørn Hestnes
Team Members: Carl Aaby
Peter Brooks
Helge Hüttenrauch

What we do:

This STF focuses on improving the user experience of real-time communication services for:

  • person-to-person interaction (e.g., multimedia conferencing) 
  • person-to-machine interaction (e.g.,  mobile TV)

 The STF is producing: 

  • An ETSI Guide of user-centred guidelines based on measures of user behaviour and expressed in relation to technical QoS
  • A web-based system that enables:

o advanced navigation among the guideline set of the ETSI EG

o increased understanding and application of the guidelines though on-line tutorials

  • An ETSI Technical Report of future requirements based on the evolution of technologies and the development of user and market requirements.

Read our Terms of Reference

Why we do it:

The successful introduction of real-time communication services is complicated because:

  • they offer users the opportunity to interact using different media (e.g., text, audio, graphics, video and data)
  • different communication services may be more or less appropriate for different users and user tasks
  • different implementations of technical QoS parameters may influence the quality of the users' experience. 

Time plan for the work:

Publication of the ETSI Guide: March 2010

Publication of the ETSI Technical Report: November 2009

Completion of the Web-based Guideline and Tutorial System: February 2010
