Foreword
Cloud computing was initially only aiming at providing
on-d emand computing via shared pools of computational infrastruc-
tures. In just a few years, cloud computing has dramatically expanded
its horizon to offer on-demand services to a broad range of configurable
resources-sharing scenarios in networking, servers, storage, software, and
applications. Such a thriving development of cloud computing is largely
credited to an array of attractive benefits that include on-demand self-
service provision, Internet-wide and device-independent access, rapid
response to dynamic service requests, and usage-based pricing. The
expansion from computational infrastructure sharing to a broader range
of common resource sharing propels cloud computing into many new
application domains that were not considered possible even when cloud
computing was originally introduced.
Although we have witnessed an unprecedented boom in the
development of various cloud computing–related technologies, commer-
cially viable cloud computing services are still considered to be at an early
stage of market adoption. However, according to many marketing ana-
lysts, cloud computing service revenues have been, and continue to be,
growing strongly. Based on recent forecasts by leading market analysis
firms, the compound growth rate for cloud computing services should
remain at 20% or even higher for the next few years. Such a strong revenue
growth should in turn fuel more comprehensive innovations in both tech-
nology advancement and application development. We have every reason
to anticipate a profound penetration of cloud computing technology into
all walks of digital life in the years to come.
Among various technical disciplines that have been vigorously impacted
by cloud computing, digital media is probably the most prominent ben-
eficiary from the recent advances in cloud computing. One reason for
this pronounced impact can be attributed to the unique characteristics
