Special Issue on Multimedia Computing and Management in Cloud Environment

摘要

In cloud computing environment, various innovative multimedia (text, image, audio, video, graph, etc.) services appear. For example, users may work on one document or drawing together over Internet, users can push their complicated computing tasks to cloud servers, and users can forward their multimedia content (e.g., TV program) to cloud servers with the aim of obtaining the analyzed result (e.g., a short summarization). To support these services, various computing or management techniques are required, for example, multimedia processing, coding, communication, storage and access. Additionally, in cloud computing, security and privacy become very important issues, for example, user authentication and authorization, information exchange between clients and cloud servers, privacy protection of user-uploaded content, etc.
