Abstract— Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . Since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . Therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . This paper investigates the use of genetic ...

Peer-based software review techniques such as pair programming and peer code review are increasingly used within information systems development teams. How do these techniques influence team performance? While previous research has treated the decision to apply peer-based review techniques as a trade-off between increased effort and improved code quality, this study provides a deeper theoretica...

The decentralised, cooperative and self-organising nature of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems help to mitigate and even overcome many challenges which overwhelm the traditional client-server approaches. On the other hand, these very characteristics also introduce some novel issues in P2P environments. One of the critical issues is how to build the trust relationship within P2P systems. In this paper,...

The benefits of formative peer assessment of student work are well-recognised, but the onerous nature of administrating peer review remains a disincentive to implementation, especially in large classes. We have developed an online system – PRAZE – that allows the distribution and anonymous exchange of work between students in an educational setting to be automated. In this paper, we describe th...
