An experimental study of peer behavior in a pure P2P network

Abstract: Dynamic peer behavior in P2P networks has a large impact on the performance of the network because each peer acts simultaneously as a server and a client in an overlay network. However, peer behavior in pure P2P networks is not well known ...
A framework for architecting peer-to-peer receiver-driven overlays
NOSSDAV '04: Proceedings of the 14th international workshop on Network and operating systems support for digital audio and video

This paper presents a simple and scalable framework for architecting peer-to-peer overlays called Peer-to-peer Receiver-driven Overlay (or PRO). PRO is designed for non-interactive streaming applications and its primary design goal is to maximize ...
Design and Experimental Research of Cable-Driven Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot
Intelligent Robotics and Applications
Abstract
To help patients with upper-limb dysfunction in rehabilitation training, a parallel cable-driven upper-limb rehabilitation robot was proposed. The robot has advantages in modular design, simple mechanism, low cost, lightweight and good human-...
