Centralized Peer-to-Peer Courseware Sharing System for UCS

Abstract

Today, thanks to the development of a number of advanced P2P file sharing applications, the reach and scope of peer networks has increased dramatically. Moreover, Centralized application architecture also become important in P2P file sharing system since file sharing can be used based around the central server system which directs traffic between individual registered users. On the other hand, established courseware system in University community encourages the development of detailed treatments of the subject matter and also reduces the cost of lesson development. In this paper, Centralized Peer-to-Peer system is implemented to share university courseware between students and teachers. Furthermore, Multithreading technique is used in the development of this system to control the uploading/downloading files by multiusers and, the system also restricted the file sharing among users for the security purpose.
