Cloud multimedia applications, service and devices, multimedia delivery is expected to become the major traffic of Internet which will keep increasing rapidly. In order to serve such large scale multimedia applications, more and more service providers store their video assets in the cloud and delivery streaming to their consumers cross cloud, for example, YouTube. Along with the growth of users and the amount of media content constantly being produced, traditional cloud-based storage has two drawbacks. First, a lot of servers and storages devices are needed, which could easily be the performance bottleneck in the whole system. Second, to provide differential classes of services in the large-scale situation, system tends to need many additional devices.

1.2 INTRODUCTION

Cloud computing is a fast, growing and emerging technology that could provide elasticity, scalability, ubiquitous availability, and cost-effectiveness. There have been numerous studies about the definition and categories of cloud computing in fact, the “cloud” is more often used as “Metaphoring the Internet” where “Cloud-based” means network-centric. More and more new topics are being studied from prior research fields which combine the concept of cloud. Multimedia cloud (or media cloud) aims to leverage cloud computing technologies for multimedia applications, services and systems.

Researchers have proposed various kinds of media or multimedia cloud from different orientations. From references multimedia cloud is proposed as an emerging computing paradigm that can effectively process multimedia applications and provide novel multimedia service for consumers. Moreover, according to the multimedia-related traffic has been predicted to account for around 90% of the global Internet Protocol (IP) traffic that will reach 1.3 ZB per year in 2016. Find the best projects titles for your final year projects Therefore, an important research issue is how to deliver such large amounts of multimedia content which is stored in and crossed over the cloud.

However, one key challenge is effectively transferring the multimedia on the clouds while providing quality of service (QoS) provision. In particular, QoS provision needs to be considered in cloud-based storage system that is responsible to store and fetch data for others’ applications and services in the cloud computing systems. Regarding the delivery of multimedia from/to the cloud, the most challenging work is how the cloud storage can provide distributed parallel accessing of media asset for millions of users with different service levels. Therefore, this paper proposes a QoS-provisioning cloud storage system, which is particularly aiming at distributed parallel accessing of media asset for millions of users with different service levels.

EXPLANATION:

The existing Internet traffic passive measurement solutions are mainly based on a technical route of downloading traffic dataset and analysis tool from the corresponding distribution site, and then carrying out a local place research based on off-line traffic analysis. However, the issues of massive traffic datasets acquisition and analysis as well as measurement achievement reuse and sharing still need a further consideration. The paper applies the ever up surging cloud computing paradigm to network traffic passive measurement field in order to address the issues. On the basis of inducing the drawbacks of the conventional technical route, we proposed a novel cloud pattern of passive measurement work and designed an architecture of cloud-pattern based network traffic analysis platform. Furthermore, using the authentic traffic collected at a CERNET backbone (10 Gbps), we implemented a prototype system of the architecture, called IP Trace Analysis System, or IPTAS for short.

EXPLANATION:

Despite pervasive deployment of wireless networks, maintaining seamless mobile connectivity within a set of local devices and to the remote cloud is still challenging. The crux of this challenge stems from the simultaneous interplay of multiple dimensions of a user’s mobility – users frequently move between multiple access networks, mobile devices and unique personas. We identify new trends and challenges in providing rich mobile connectivity to mobile users. We then propose a novel Cloud-centric Architecture for Rich Mobile Experience Networking, called Carmen. Carmen is a distributed system that manages the mobile connectivity of a set of devices belonging to a particular individual, which we call the mobile personal grid (MPG). Carmen enables the MPG to efficiently collect context from a mobile user and coordinate key system resources across the MPG and cloud. We present new design principles and functional components of Carmen. In addition, we show our system prototype of Carmen’s resource monitoring infrastructure to demonstrate its feasibility and benefits in improving the mobile user’s networking experience.

EXPLANATION:

Cloud multimedia services provide an efficient, flexible, and scalable data processing method and offer a solution for the user demands of high quality and diversified multimedia. As intelligent mobile phones and wireless networks become more and more popular, network services for users are no longer limited to the home. Multimedia information can be obtained easily using mobile devices, allowing users to enjoy ubiquitous network services.

EXPLANATION:

Recently, Cloud-based Mobile Augmentation (CMA) approaches have gained remarkable ground from academia and industry. CMA is the state-of-the-art mobile augmentation model that employs resource-rich clouds to increase, enhance, and optimize computing capabilities of mobile devices aiming at execution of resource-intensive mobile applications. Augmented mobile devices envision to perform extensive computations and to store big data beyond their intrinsic capabilities with least footprint and vulnerability. Researchers utilize varied cloud based computing resources (e.g., distant clouds and nearby mobile nodes) to meet various computing requirements of mobile users. However, employing cloud-based computing resources is not a straightforward panacea. Comprehending critical factors (e.g., current state of mobile client and remote resources) that impact on augmentation process and optimum selection of cloud based resource types are some challenges that hinder CMA adaptability. This paper comprehensively surveys the mobile augmentation domain and presents taxonomy of CMA approaches. The objectives of this study is to highlight the effects of remote resources on the quality and reliability of augmentation processes and discuss the challenges and opportunities of employing varied cloud-based resources in augmenting mobile devices. We present augmentation definition, motivation, and taxonomy of augmentation types, including traditional and cloud-based. We critically analyze the state-of-the-art CMA approaches and classify them into four groups of distant fixed, proximate fixed, proximate mobile, and hybrid to present a taxonomy. Vital decision making and performance limitation factors that influence on the adoption of CMA approaches are introduced and an exemplary decision making flowchart for future CMA approaches are presented. Im- pacts of CMA approaches on mobile computing is discussed and open challenges are presented as the future research directions.

2.0 SYSTEM ANALYSIS

2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM:

Previous work on storage resource management can be classified into two classes largely. One is, guaranteeing each client’s storage QoS requirements set by a system administrator. These systems such as the required response time objectives by regulating the rate of other clients’ workload incoming into the storage system uses Earliest Deadline First (EDF) to meet the response time objectives but it is impossible when an unexpected workload burst occurs by other clients.

Chameleon uses leaky-bucket with feedback control but leaky-bucket system does not use the storage system efficiently because it is also not work-conserving. Triage adopts a control theory to predict the system performance and correspondingly adjust its system model for performance isolation and differentiation. Its system model is not sensitive to the performance dynamics perceived by concurrent clients due to different physical data position.

2.1.1 DISADVANTAGES:

• Another consideration is that not only the component but also the used packages in the system are scalable. Any more powerful third-party packages could replace some parts of current system but may not scale well in the large-scale situation.

• First, a lot of servers and storages devices are needed, which could easily be the performance bottleneck in the whole system.

• Second, to provide differential classes of services in the large-scale situation, system tends to need many additional devices.

2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM:

We proposed system contains a proven Adaptive Quality of Service (AQoS) algorithm in order to provide differential service levels. The system can also be used flexibly in large, medium and small-scale environment. In addition, some algorithms are also developed to increase overall system performance and fault tolerance. Implementations and experiment results show that the proposed system can meet the requirements both in the laboratory and a practical commercial service environment.

We design and deploy the storage system with QoS provision for a multiple class-aware multimedia delivery service. The design goals and requirements for a storage system should include that the system can be deployed in cloud and also can be used flexibly in large, medium and small size environments and has features of scalability, considerable fault tolerance, security and other basic requirements.

Our proposed system applies the algorithm on the targeted storage which has been decided in the previous step. This algorithm is applied on the targeted storage with its own statistical data. each storage has its own statistical data for calculation. These constants are used in the algorithm are set in the configuration file and can be changed at runtime. Storage I/O benchmark tools (iozone) are used to perform the R/W pattern which is close to our services to decide the constant values.

Since storage I/O throughput is very dynamic and the system only needs rough values. If new storage is the same as the storage used now, the constant value could adopt from the current value. If size is the only difference between the new and current storages, modification of some constants is needed to fit into the new storage size.

2.2.1 ADVANTAGES:

Multiclass Service awareness is an import requirement of a cloud system for multimedia application. The users in the system are divided into server class users. The basic requirement is that the users in the system are divided into two levels: high class and low class. The high class users can always use the service and low class users need a mechanism to determine whether the services can be used.

Scalability is another goal that the system must be able to scale up and scale down in the different size environment. Developing a system architecture which can be used in small and large circumstances simultaneously is a challenge. The design idea is that the each component in the system needs to be loosely coupled and every component could also be scaled up and scaled down by itself.

Fault Tolerance achieves this goal, a distributed system must be designed and it is not affected when some servers are malfunctioned. When a server failure does not affect the whole system, it means that the server can be removed easily. The proposed system also tries to provide easy server installation as well. In the system, different kinds of metadata are required to be held redundantly by the corresponding technologies.

Security is a serious issue in cloud-based services today. Especially in providing differential service system, security vulnerabilities can easily lead to the corruption of the entire system. In the system proposed in this paper, some hash algorithms are used to provide verification in the communication protocol, and reject malicious requests in addition, system has development and production environment due to security considerations, as there must be error messages of different detail levels among different environments.

Data Flow Diagram / Use Case Diagram / Flow Diagram:

• The DFD is also called as bubble chart. It is a simple graphical formalism that can be used to represent a system in terms of the input data to the system, various processing carried out on these data, and the output data is generated by the system

• The data flow diagram (DFD) is one of the most important modeling tools. It is used to model the system components. These components are the system process, the data used by the process, an external entity that interacts with the system and the information flows in the system.

• DFD shows how the information moves through the system and how it is modified by a series of transformations. It is a graphical technique that depicts information flow and the transformations that are applied as data moves from input to output.

• DFD is also known as bubble chart. A DFD may be used to represent a system at any level of abstraction. DFD may be partitioned into levels that represent increasing information flow and functional detail.

NOTATION:

SOURCE OR DESTINATION OF DATA:

External sources or destinations, which may be people or organizations or other entities

DATA SOURCE:

Here the data referenced by a process is stored and retrieved.

PROCESS:

People, procedures or devices that produce data’s in the physical component is not identified.

DATA FLOW:

Data moves in a specific direction from an origin to a destination. The data flow is a “packet” of data.

MODELING RULES:

There are several common modeling rules when creating DFDs:

1. All processes must have at least one data flow in and one data flow out.
2. All processes should modify the incoming data, producing new forms of outgoing data.
3. Each data store must be involved with at least one data flow.
4. Each external entity must be involved with at least one data flow.
5. A data flow must be attached to at least one process.
