Exploring JXTASearch for P2P Learning Resource Discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) application aimed to improve the discoverability of learning resources distributed typically over different institutions. We investigate JXTASearch, a distributed search engine constructed upon Sun’s open source P2P platform: JXTA, and extend it to enable Dublin Core (DC) meta-data based P2P searching. While the JXTA platform provides the essential interoperability among various peers at “network” level, DC meta-data constitutes the minimal interoperable basis for learning resource discovery at “meta-data” level. We then discuss the advantages and shortcomings of our prototype implementation, as well as future work building upon our experiences with JXTASearch prototype.

Exploring JXTASearch for P2P Educational Media Discovery
In this paper we present a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) application that aims at improving the discoverability of educational media typically distributed over different universities and institutions. We investigate JXTASearch, a distributed search engine constructed upon Sun’s open source P2P platform JXTA, and further extend it to support Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) based P2P searches.

متن کاملProtocols for Bio-Inspired Resource Discovery and Erasure Coded Replication in P2P Networks
Efficient resource discovery and availability improvement are very important issues in unstructured P2P networks. In this paper, a bio-inspired resource discovery scheme inspired by the principle of elephants migration is proposed. A replication scheme based on Q-learning and erasure codes is also introduced. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes significantly increases query succes...
متن کاملIncentive Driven Node Discovery in a P2P Network Using Mobile Intelligent Agents
A peer-to-peer(P2P) network consists of nodes that are capable of sharing resources and services with each other in a decentralized and distributed manner. A node joining a P2P network uses the node discovery protocol to discover other nodes already in the network. A node then uses the resource discovery protocol to distribute and acquire resources from other nodes in the network. Existing algo...
متن کاملAn Improved Resource Discovery Approach Using P2P Model for Condor: A Grid Middleware
Resource Discovery in Grids is critical for efficient resource allocation and management. Heterogeneous nature and dynamic availability of resources make resource discovery a challenging task. As numbers of nodes are increasing from tens to thousands, scalability is essentially desired. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) techniques, on the other hand, provide effective implementation of scalable services and a...
متن کاملResource Addressable Network: An Adaptive Peer-to-Peer Discovery Substrate for Internet-Scale Service Platforms
The primary enabling component for using a peer-to-peer (P2P) system as a general service platform is an efficient P2P resource discovery mechanism. The design of a P2P resource discovery mechanism differ from other resource discovery mechanisms because it has to handle the volatile memberships in P2P systems. Controlling the management overhead, implementing fully decentralized mechanisms, and...
