Welcome to the special issue of Springer Computing on Software Tools and Technologies for Delivering Smart Media-Optimized Applications in the Cloud. This special issue deals with the intersection of big media data and it needs for exploiting elastic cloud computing services for efficiently processing and analysing such big data to support emerging media-optimised applications. Big data and cloud computing are big news around the world. For example, studies by CISCO [1] and IBM [2] found we now generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data per day. According to IDC [3], the data universe is set to explode to 40 yottabytes by 2020—5,200 gigabytes for every person on earth. Together with the rapidly increasing volume of data being generated, opportunities for analysing such data to distil knowledge that can help solve problems that benefit individuals, the industry and government, and our entire society presents a monumental technical challenge. This special issue focuses on a major and less exploited segment of big data: multimedia content. Major industry players, such as CISCO [4], predict that by 2016, 90% of internet traffic will be
