Trusted cooperative e-learning service deployment model in multi-cloud environment

Abstract

The objective of the research work is to propose an adaptive trust model applicable to cooperative software services deployed in a cloud environment towards e-learning. The cooperation among all the participating services in terms of their compliance with the e-learning standards, risk on the unavailability of specific services, and governance in the case of disputes were not considered. The reputations of such cloud-based classrooms can be evaluated in terms of the trust between domain-specific services like registration, assessment, accounting, and results from announcement services deployed as infrastructure and platform services in a multi-cloud environment. The trust relationship is also to be ascertained between the provider and client of various virtual services in the case of emergent de-provisioning of any resource for a particular course of study.
