PhD thesis table of contents:
==PhD thesis table of contents==
*1. Introduction
**a. Overview of my research and motivation
Use Ptrim S1
**b. Main results and original contributions
**c. Organisation of thesis
*2. Theory and background
**a. Introduction – big picture
**b. P2P networks and architectures
Based on ACM survey
**c. Distributed transaction processing systems
Compared to centralized, characteristics, requirements (use e-commerce paper)
**d. Centralized and distributed reputation management
Survey of current approaches
**e. Market-based risk management
Financial derivatives, risk management, market efficiency. Use Ptrim S2.1. S2.4
**f. Auxiliary theory and tools used in this research
Mention, with references to Sections, we’ll be talking about crawling utilities, importance sampling, Java/jxta development etc.
*3. Problem definition and proposed solution
**a. Definition of problem we want to attack: Managing P2P transaction risk
Includes general and also specific goals
**b. Limits of research scope
Things that are not our problem ( References to Section 7).
**c. Proposed solution: A Market based approach
At an abstract level. Use patent literature for ideas.
***i. Relation to other approaches
Complementary to reputation management, explain how the two could cooperate.
***ii. Abstract description of proposed solution.
Abstract design and architecture. Description of the market-based insurance layer, and the Ptrim system. Use Ptrim S2.3. Talk about need for efficient, competitive market. Use Ptrim S3.1.
*4. Methodology
**a. How we chose this particular approach
With particular focus to our evaluation approach. Discuss other possible approaches (e.g. theoretical) that were not selected.
**b. Description of our overall approach
We’ll build a prototype and test it, and we’ll also run composite experiments and evaluate the results.
**c. Hypotheses
What were our specific hypotheses (H1, H2, H3). We’ll refer to them in d and e below, and also again in Section 6.
**d. Prototype system trials
What sort of trials we ran with the prototype. Use Ptrim S4.1. Which hypotheses do we address here.
***i. Experimental setup
How the experiment will work, software tool, subjects, questionnaires etc.
***ii. Methodology for evaluation
How will we evaluate the results.
**e. Composite experimental trials
Use Ptrim S4.2. Which hypotheses do we address here.
***i. Experimental setup
How the experiment will work, software tool, subjects, questionnaires etc. Use Ptrim S
***ii. Transaction data
Where we found the data and what we did with it
***iii. Methodology for evaluation
How will we evaluate the results (market efficiency, risk reduction, questionnaires etc)
*5. Design and implementation
Follows the structure of 3c, but not at an abstract level any more, we refer to design and implementation. Lots of UML diagrams
**a. Design of Ptrim system
**b. Ptrim implementation details
How we implemented this: Java, jxta, messaging, etc Use Ptrim S3.2.
**c. Composite experiment setup
How we implemented this: Perl/CGI/MySQL etc.
**d. Data crawling
How we did this
*6. Results, evaluation and discussion
**a. Evaluation of prototype trial outcomes
Use Ptrim S5.1. Refer to hypotheses
**b. Evaluation of composite trial outcomes
Use Ptrim S5.2. Refer to hypotheses
**c. Discussion of overall findings and implications for our approach
*7. Future work
Mention these also in Section 3.b.
**a. Security
**b. Collusion detection
**c. Insuring insurance transactions
**d. Further experiments and simulation studies
*8. Conclusions and synopsis
