Title
A two-stage approach for task and resource management in multimedia cloud environment.
Abstract
In recent years, multimedia cloud computing is becoming a promising technology that can effectively process multimedia services and provide quality of service (QoS) provisioning for multimedia applications from anywhere, at any time and on any device at lower costs. However, there are two major challenges exist in this emerging computing paradigm: one is task management, which maps multimedia tasks to virtual machines, and the other is resource management, which maps virtual machines (VMs) to physical servers. In this study, we aim at providing an efficient solution that jointly addresses these challenges. In particular, a queuing based approach for task management and a heuristic algorithm for resource management are proposed. By adopting allocation deadline in each VM request, both task manager and VM allocator receive better chances to optimize the cost while satisfying the constraints on the quality of multimedia service. Various simulations were conducted to validate the efficiency of the proposed task and resource management approaches. The results showed that the proposed solutions provided better performance as compared to the existing state-of-the-art approaches.
