Collaborative cloud service model for delivering multimedia content in mCloud

Cloud environment is an efficient solution for both computing intensive and data intensive applications and it is a technology paradigm that is ideal for deploying a user centered mobile learning environment. Efficient use of cloud based services is a key component of successful task scheduling and resource allocation in cloud computing environment. In this paper, we propose a collaborative cloud service model for supporting the student´s mobile learning process. The proposed collaborative model creates groups of students with joint interests collecting the relevant information from the existing social networks. The spirit of the proposed collaborative model comes from different aspects and influencing factors with respect to Quality of Experience (QoE) process. Experimental results gathered from using the OPNET simulator have verified the benefits of the proposed multimedia content adaptation collaborative model.
