Abstract

Multimedia-aware cloud is a novel cloud paradigm which addresses the overall framework needed for cloud infrastructure to effectively process multimedia services in a distributed fashion, provides Quality of Experience (QoE) provisioning for a broad spectrum of multimedia applications and facilitates all sorts of parallel processing schemes and adaptation methods for various types of end-user devices. The main purpose of this paper is to present some of the dominant platforms, software packages and application delivery tools and architectures that might help a multimedia-related application to be easily deployed, maintained and scale-up with as little limitations to performance and end-user QoE as possible.
