Abstract

This chapter starts with motivations and characteristics of a special-purpose cloud platform for multimedia streaming. Then, it moves to the goal of this chapter which is elaborating the characteristics and expectation of the MSC platform. In addition, the module-level architecture of the MSC platform is explained and the object-as-a-service abstraction provided by the MSC is unfolded.
