Building mobile multimedia services: a hybrid cloud computing approach

Abstract

Mobile multimedia services are in high demand, but their development comes at high costs. The emergent computing paradigm cloud computing has great potential to embrace these issues. In fact, we are at the early stage of the coalescence of cloud computing, mobile multimedia and the Web. Motivated by the tremendous success story of the Web based on its simplicity principles, we argue for a comprehensive review on current practices of web and mobile multimedia cloud computing techniques for avoiding frictions. We draw on experience from the development of advanced collaborative multimedia web applications utilizing multimedia metadata standards like MPEG-7 and real-time communication protocols like XMPP. We propose our i5CLoud, a hybrid cloud architecture, which serves as a substrate for scalable and fast time-to-market mobile multimedia services. This paper demonstrates the applicability of emerging cloud computing concepts for mobile multimedia.

Developing curriculum for industry 4.0: digital workplaces

“…Some of the ways in which the nature of work has been changing are: (1) work is expected to be delivered anytime and anywhere; (2) there is much less separation between timings and spaces used for work and leisure or between business and family activities. Several commercial applications with cloud features have emerged, which give the advantage to users of faster processing in the new world of work, as well as economical terms of usage (Kovachev et al , 2014). Employees check emails and work-related messages during the weekend, just as they complete online shopping for kitchen provisions or buy personal gifts in between work.…”

Mobile multimedia crowd service cooperation control protocol based on opportunistic wavelet

“…The security and privacy issues of multimedia services were investigated in article [11] by studying a newly emerging multimedia-oriented mobile social network, which helps users receive multimedia services not only from their online social communities. The authors of article [12] proposed a hybrid cloud architecture, which serves as a substrate for scalable and fast time-to-market mobile multimedia services. The link quality and geographical beaconless OR protocol for efficient video dissemination was presented in article [13] for mobile multimedia Internet of Things, which relies on a beaconless OR approach and uses multiple metrics for routing decisions.…”
