Highways: Proximity Clustering for Scalable Peer-to-Peer Network
No full textThe "location-aware" construction of overlay networks requires the identification of nodes that are efficient with respect to network delay and available bandwidth. In this short paper, we propose Highways to create clusters of nodes using a novel "location-aware" method, based on a scalable and distributed network coordinate system. This helps to build overlay routing tables to achieve better proximity accuracy, thus, providing a mechanism to boost performance in application overlay routing
An analytical study on the use of cooperative learning (CL) strategies in technical and non-technical subjects in higher education
No full textCooperative learning has been viewed upon favourably as an active learning strategy and has been endorsed by an increasing number of educators in schools and tertiary institutions. This is used with the hope that it would increase students' achievements, enhance students' learning and motivation and create positive peer relationships between students. Cooperative learning is a planned instructional use of small groups to enable students to work together to maximise each other's learning. This is a very helpful strategy and some have witnessed its success in the application process.This paper is written to analyse and study the use of cooperative learning strategies in technical and non-technical subjects in higher education. Custom-designed cooperative learning strategies are formulated for implementation in technical and non-technical subjects to achieve active learning's objectives. Research was done through the reading of related literature listed in the bibliography. Analytical study was done through the implementation of these cooperative learning strategies in both subjects of different natures, cooperative learning assessment and evaluation system, discussions on its validity and reliability of the assessment system, personal observations, informal interviews, survey feedbacks and analysis. Guidelines to resolve problems which arose from the use of cooperative learning and teaching strategies in technical and non-technical subjects are also suggested in this analytical study
