Abstract. P2P systems enable decentralised applications for supporting collaborating groups and communities, where the collaboration may involve both sharing of data and sharing of group processes among group members. In such applications, monitoring and awareness are critical functionalities required for an effective collaboration. However, to date there has been little research into providing generic, application-independent awareness in P2P groupware systems. We present a distributed event-based awareness approach for such systems that provides different forms of awareness through a set of interoperating, low-level awareness services. The user and technical requirements for the approach are motivated with reference to Project-Based Learning in a P2P environment. We describe the implementation of a superpeer P2P network on a Cloud platform and the provision of reliable awareness services (AaaS -Awareness as a Service) from the Cloud. We report on the outcomes of an empirical evaluation of the performance and scalability of the approach.

This study gathered functional requirements for a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Middleware Application that can resolve the data movement interoperability gap that exists between learning management systems (LMS) and learning object repositories (LOR). A panel of Computer Information Systems (CIS) experts participated in a five-stage, web-based, anonymous Delphi process to establish a valid set of criteria for the proposed middleware application. In the process, the panel approved and ranked 28 functional requirements for the proposed application. The functional requirements gathered from this study are being used to build an application prototype using SOA Web Services to move learning object data across the Internet from a LMS to a LOR.

This research study involved the development of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) middleware prototype that provided a solution for the data movement interoperability gap that exists between learning management systems (LMS) and learning object repositories (LOR). The prototype extracted and transferred Learning Object data from a LMS to a LOR using Web Services and FTP. The design of the prototype was based on the 28 functional requirements that were provided by a panel of Computer Information Systems (CIS) experts that participated in a fivestage, web-based, anonymous Delphi process to establish a valid set of criteria for the middleware application. During the requirements gathering process, the panel approved and ranked 28 functional requirements for the prototype. The prototype was then developed and consisted of five major components, a Web-based user interface that was developed using C# ASP .Net, an Oracle 11g Metadata Repository, a Web Service Coordination Program that leveraged the PHP programming language, a LMS (Moodle) and a LOR (FLORI).
