Unstructured P2P networks support distributed applications whose workload may vary significantly over time and between nodes. Self-optimizing systems try to keep the load in the network balanced despite the frequent load fluctuations. Several P2P systems exhibit a number of related features but fail to avoid centralization under high-load situations. ERGO aims to balance the overloaded nodes by...

although sport-physiologists have repeatedly analyzed respiratory gases through exercise, it is relatively new in the cardiovascular field and is obviously more acceptable than standard exercise test, which gives only information about the existence or absence of cardiovascular diseases (cvds). through the new method of exercise test, parameters including aerobic and anaerobic are checked and m...

This paper describes our work on practical global vision systems (DORAEMON and ERGO). These vision systems have formed the basis of several undergraduate and graduate courses since 1998 and have consistently been improved to perform accurately and robustly over a wide range of applications. DORAEMON uses a sophisticated camera calibration method and colour model to remove the need for an overhe...
