With the explosive growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication technologies, media streaming service and applications basedon video content have gained remarkable popularity and interest from users. When someone is using their device to record a video, then sharethat video with friends through a certain website (e.g. Netflix, YouTube), the process may sound simple from the user side. However, there is acomplex processing chain behind it. Recent advances in distributed cloud computing environment has offered great potential for bothcommercial and military video applications. Building capabilities and technologies for media processing by leveraging elastic cloud computingwill offer significant enhancement to current government and military practice. The objective of this effort is to develop a highly scalablesoftware system, entitled as CloudVS: cloud based next generation video services, to integrate video processing with cloud for nextgeneration multimedia applications.
