In cloud computing environment, various innovative multimedia (text, image, audio, video, graph, etc.) services appear. For example, users may work on one document or drawing together over Internet, users can push their complicated computing tasks to cloud servers, and users can forward their multimedia content (e.g., TV program) to cloud servers with the aim of obtaining the analyzed result (e.g., a short summarization). To support these services, various computing or management techniques are required, for example, multimedia processing, coding, communication, storage and access. Additionally, in cloud computing, security and privacy become very important issues, for example, user authentication and authorization, information exchange between clients and cloud servers, privacy protection of user-uploaded content, etc. This special issue aims to collect the best papers contributed by leading experts, and expose the readership to the latest research results on multimedia computing and management in cloud computing environment. It includes a number of related topics, demonstrates pioneer work, investigates the novel solutions and discusses the future trends in this field. This issue is composed of five papers carefully selected. Each paper is reviewed by at least two experts, with at least two rounds.
