==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 |
