A P2P Framework For Distributed And Cooperative Laboratories
Luca Caviglione, Luca Veltri · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
In this paper we propose a p2p framework in order to organize the cooperation and the set-up phase of interconnected laboratories for didactical purposes through the Internet. Even if the application of standard p2p algorithms to distributed cooperative laboratories is a quite new methodology, we will base our approach on a solid foundation, such as the one provided by the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The proposed architecture solves some general problems such as the discovering of entities, and also provides, a general framework for devices accounting. In addition, our framework offers mechanisms in order to provide an abstract namespace for adding — removing facilities on the fly and invoking them.
