IMPROVING RELIABILITY OF JXTA-ORVERLAY PLATFORM: EVALUATION FOR E-LEARNING AND TRUSTWORTHINESS

摘要

We have implemented JXTA-Overlay platform, which is a middleware built on top of the JXTA specification. The JXTA-Overlay defines a set of protocols that standardize how different devices may communicate and collaborate among them. Also, it provides a set of basic functionalities, primitives, intended to be as complete as possible to satisfy the needs of most JXTA-based applications. In P2P systems, each peer has to obtain information of peers and propagate it to other peers. The trustworthiness of peers is very important for safe communication in P2P systems. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a fuzzy-based system to improve the reliability of JXTA-Overlay platform. The JXTA-Overlay is integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) by using RFID technology and SmartBox. We evaluate JXTA-Overlay platform for e-learning and trustworthiness. The experimental results show that by using JXTA-Overlay is possible to decide the situation of learners. The simulation results have shown that the proposed system has a good performance and can select trusted peers to connect to JXTA-Overlay platform.
