摘要

This paper is concerned with the problem of how to share distributed resources. As an application of distributed resource sharing in schools, a peer-to-peer network model (HRRP(k)) is proposed and its properties are studied. It is proven that HRRP(k) network has better performance than a 2-D mesh in group communication. Then, to improve the quality of service (QoS) in the education resource sharing network, several key strategies are proposed, including the strategy for a node to join or leave the network, the strategy for searching for resources, and the strategy for setting up connections between nodes. To realize local and global resource retrieval, several algorithms based on the HRRP(k) network are proposed. Finally, the advantages of the HRRP(k) network and the effectiveness of proposed strategies are proposed by theoretical analysis and comparison. Based on these findings, a prototype of a resource sharing application is proposed, which shows the HRRP(k) network has a better performance than alternative network architectures.
