La coordinación de la actividad de tutoría en las universidades virtuales. El caso de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.

El esfuerzo por desarrollar metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje específicas para el entorno virtual no ha venido acompañado de un impulso similar para adaptar los mecanismos de coordinación del profesorado, en general, y la actividad de tutoría en particular, a las características de las universidades virtuales. Esta comunicación contribuye a elaborar modelos organizativos que faciliten un buen desarrollo de la acción tutorial en línea. Con este fin, se presentan los principales elementos para estructurar y coordinar la acción tutorial, y se explica el modelo concreto adoptado en la UOC. Finalmente se presenta una valoración de la experiencia que puede ser útil para otras instituciones.

Recipients' Anonymity in Multihop Ad-hoc Networks

Multihop ad-hoc networks have a dynamic topology. Retrieving a route towards a remote peer requires the execution of a recipient lookup, which can publicly reveal sensitive information about him. Within this context, we propose an efficient, practical and scalable solution to guaranteethe anonymity of recipients' nodes in ad-hoc networks.

JXTAnonym: An anonymity layer for JXTA services messaging

With the evolution of the P2P research eld, new problems, such as those related with information security, have arisen. It is important to provide security mechanisms to P2P systems, since it has already become one of the key issues when evaluating them. However, even though many P2P systems have been adapted to provide a security baseline to their underlying applications, more advanced capabilities are becoming necessary. Speci cally, privacy preservation and anonymity are deemed essential to make the information society sustainable. Unfortunately, sometimes, it may be di cult to attain anonymity unless it is included into the system's initial design. The JXTA open protocols speci cation is a good example of this kind of scenario. This work studies how to provide anonymity to JXTA's architecture in a feasible manner and proposes an extension which allows deployed services to process two-way messaging without disclosing the endpoints'identities to third parties.

Towards secure mobile P2P applications using JXME

Mobile devices have become ubiquitous, allowing the integration of new information from a large range of devices. However, the development of new applications requires a powerful framework which simplifies their construction. JXME is the JXTA implementation for mobile devices using J2ME, its main value being its simplicity when creating peer-to-peer (P2P) applications on limited devices. On that regard, an issue that is becoming veryimportant in the recent times is being able to provide a security baseline to such applications. This paper analyzes the currentstate of security in JXME and proposes a simple security mechanism in order to protect JXME applications against a broad range of vulnerabilities.
