Summary:

This tutorial explains the first rigorous interactive video streaming engine, CVSE , that processes video streaming tasks on a dynamic self-configurable heterogeneous cluster of cloud resources. We will present the CVSE architecture and the way its components function individually and interact with each other. Specifically, this tutorial explains state-of-the-art in the following areas:

• How current video streaming systems work

• Serverless heterogeneous cloud computing

• Heterogeneous resource provisioning and scheduling of video streams

• Fog Computing and methods for caching video streams

• Presenting a working demonstration of interactive video streaming via CVSE platform
