Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Transferring Medical Data over P2P Network

  • Chapter
Computers in Medical Activity

Abstract

In the paper, a transfer of medical dataover P2P network is considered. The data are homogenous, of textual type. They are transferred between the nodes representing medical systems, along transmission lines. Although only some of the nodes can produce, process or integrate data, all of the nodes are able to propagate them to their neighbours. The costs of building the transmission lines are high, so an optimum network topology is being searched. The random graphs with bounded degree are used for modelling of such networks. The process of transferring data over network is examined by means of the original algorithm RST for searching rooted spanning trees.
