introducrion: self and peer a ssessment provides important information about the individual’s performance and behavior in all aspects of their professional environment work. the aim of this study is to evaluate the professional behavior and performance in medical students in the form of team based assessment. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 100 medical students in the 7th year of education...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study on the impact of manufacturing strategies and resources on innovation performance in two newly industrialised countries in the South East Asian region, Thailand and Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative approach was employed. The survey data was drawn from 95 Thai and 44 Vietnamese middle or senior managers in...

This paper presents the key ideas behind the ICT CROWD (Connectivity management for eneRgy Optimised Wireless Dense networks) project, funded by the European Commission. The project moves from the observation that wireless traffic demand is currently growing exponentially. This growing demand can only be satisfied by increasing the density of points of access and combining different wireless te...

Peer predictions of future behavior and achievement are often more accurate than those furnished by the self. Although both self- and peer predictions correlate equally with future outcomes, peers tend to avoid the degree of overoptimism so often seen in self-predictions. In 3 studies, the authors tested whether this differential accuracy arises because people give more weight to past behavior ...

We present a survey of random algorithms in unstructured peer-to-peer networks by focusing on search, replication, and construction algorithms. A heavy emphasis is placed on the scalability and performance of the various schemes studied. The importance of random algorithms emerges clearly from this study. Shortcomings of the current state of research are identified and directions for future wor...

Measurement-based optimization is one important strategy to improve the performance of bandwidth-demanding peer-to-peer systems. However, to date, we have little quantitative knowledge of how well basic light-weight measurement-based techniques such as RTT probing, 10KB TCP probing, and bottleneck bandwidth probing may work in practice in the peerto-peer environment. By conducting trace-based a...

An emerging Internet application, peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming, would revolutionize the entertainment and media industries. In this paper, we have conducted an in-depth measurement study on the start-up delay performance of one of the most popular P2P streaming systems, namely, PPLive. We developed a dedicated PPLive traffic sniffer, which enables us to dissect the start-up delay performa...
