Provisioning Quality of Service for Multimedia Applications in Cloud Computing

Since the last decade, many new trends have been introduced to access network technologies and services through internet. Cloud computing is one of those significant technologies that reduce the cost and increase the productivity by providing a variety of services. Recently, cloud computing based system is primarily used for multimedia applications. Over the cloud computing, multimedia applications has some significant quality of service (QoS) requirements such as bandwidth, jitter, latency etc. But due to some limitations in services providing, it is constantly complex to make selection for an appropriate service. Keeping in view the provision of multimedia services through cloud computing, many different concepts and approaches that provide better cloud services under the constraints of QoS attributes have been described in the literature. The goal of this paper is to assess the applicability and provision of multimedia applications over cloud computing through enhanced quality of service. We have identified the primary quality of service msetrics evaluation of multimedia services over cloud computing. Furthermore, under these metrics we evaluated the existing approaches that provide multimedia related services with their strengths and limitations. This evaluation approach could provide the service that can provide better QoS in multimedia applications over cloud computing.
