Bachelor thesis - Distributed Systems Video Coding Cloud Computing


I would like to begin my thesis(Computer Science/Computer Engineering uni) soon and I would appreciate it if you threw some ideas.

I'm interested in Distributed Systems. I find the MMOG architecture quite interesting. Also Object Migration seems intriguing. I read some papers in order to combine the above two but the result projects exceed the workload of 1 person. I find it hard to find something specific get involved with.

Other than that I like video coding. Something in that area would also be nice. If Cloud computing gets in the mix it would be great!

If you have the time, fire away! thanks


Solution

  • I am doing video encoding in the cloud as part of a project for my startup. Check it out: https://github.com/sportarchive/CloudTranscode

    This is a distributed transcoding stack using FFMpeg and Amazon AWS services. I use Simple Workflow (SWF) for parallel processing and Amazon SQS for messaging and event propagation.

    The project is still in early stage but with little more work it could become pretty powerful.

    Cheers,
