Abstract
A resource sharing system is for sharing local computing resources on devices within a medical network. The sharing system including a plurality of distributed devices, registered in the system and interconnected by a network. Each device includes at least one module communicating via a device-specific interface for providing a resource locally on the device. The device is provided with a device-specific service host for providing local resources to remote devices and for accessing foreign resources of at least one remote device. Further, a device, a method and a computer program product are disclosed.
Claims20
A decentral sharing system for sharing computing resources within a medical network, comprising:
- a plurality of distributed devices, registered in the decentral sharing system and interconnected within the medical network, each respective device of the plurality of distributed devices, including at least one mode to communicate via a device-specific interface, to locally provide at least one resource on each respective device;
- wherein each respective device is provided with a device-specific service host to provide at least one local resource to remote devices and to access at least one foreign resource of at least one remote device of the remote devices.
A device for usage in a medical network, comprising:
- at least one module to communicate via a device-specific interface, at least one resource being locally provided on the device;
- and
- a device-specific service host to provide at least one local resource to at least one remote device and to access at least one resource of at least one remote device.
A method for sharing computing resources across a plurality of devices within a medical network system, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of resources on distributed and registered devices, interconnected by a network, wherein each of the plurality of resources is provided locally on at least one device of the plurality of devices and communicates via a device-specific interface;
- and
- providing local resources to remote devices of the plurality of devices and mutually accessing resources of at least one remote device, of the plurality of devices, without central control.
