Efficient Service Management for Multimedia Sessions in Hybrid Clouds

Multimedia services are advanced applications with large data sets, high computational resources prerequisites and distributed execution flows. The fairly new domain of cloud computing proposes a model of virtual resources management that fulfills the requirements of an efficient development and deployment environment for this type of services. Throughout this paper we present the design of a multimedia, service oriented, management system for hybrid clouds. We propose a modular and flexible architecture to handle service composition, automated service deployment with execution flow management and scalable storage capabilities. Furthermore we present the benefits of using this service management system.
