Final Year Project
The current vogue for social networking software is being matched by an increase in academic interest. My final year project surveys this area, seeking to demonstrate that such systems are workable and can be implemented without raising unresolvable privacy concerns.
Computer technology can transform the way we think about and act on trust.
To this end a small peer-to-peer application, entitled Hearsay, is developed as a proof of concept. The aim is to provide a guide to the creation of a number of interoperable implementations on the XMPP transport layer.
The project made use of:
- Object-Orientated Design
- XML Communication Protocols
- UML Diagrams
- Enterprise Architecture Patterns
- Formal Specifications
- The Java Language (J2EE)
- Instant Messaging Protocols (XMPP)
A full copy of the project report, and its source code is attached below.
