Our book, Multimedia Cloud Computing Systems, is now published by Springer Verlag. This is the result of research and development since 2015. Special Kudos to former and current HPCC Lab members. In particular, our co-author Dr. Xiangbo Li who was the first HPCC Lab Ph.D. graduate. Dr. Li is currently a research scientist at Twitch streaming company. Also, several current and past members of the HPCC lab have helped us in authoring this book. In particular, Dr. Mahmoud Darwich, Dr. Chavit Denninnart, Mr. Vaughan Veillion, Mr. James Gentry, Mr. Ali Mokhtari, Mr. Davood G. Samani, Mr. Shangrui Wu, and several others.
This book explores the second generation of cloud computing systems, known as domain-specific clouds, that are emerging based on application-specific processors and serverless computing paradigm. As multimedia streaming services are increasingly growing in popularity and diversity, this book is authored to introduce “multimedia clouds” as a domain-specific cloud that operates in the intersection of cloud computing technologies and digital media streaming. The book concentrates on the architectural aspects of multimedia clouds and describes development of high-level abstractions that will mitigate the burden of programmers, cloud architects, and system administrators. Multimedia clouds not only democratize multimedia streaming and add flexibility to the streaming services, they also help stream providers to offer robust and reliable streaming services in a cost- and energy-efficient manner.
