Real Estate Transport Protocol Abstract

For my next conference paper, I plan to submit the following abstract on one of the two internet protocols I invented not too long ago. Real Estate Transport Protocol (RETP) is the messaging and provisioning protocol for an eventual global multiple listing service in the not so distant future. The diagram depicts the actors and message flows. Full explanation will be discussed in the conference paper.

Title: Real Estate Transport Protocol: The Internet’s Multiple Listing Service Messenger

Abstract

Today’s multiple listing services (MLS) are antiquated, legacy systems due to tight coupling to their localized market and lack of interoperability. Moreover, these same MLSs are operated as controlled gateways eliminating public access, competition and global network distribution. This paper discusses a new internet protocol called Real Estate Transport Protocol (RETP) that resolves these inefficiencies. Using reserved internet port 32811, RETP provides a fire-and-forget messaging protocol for sending and receiving listings over the Internet to geographically distributed MLSs known as registrars. RETP creates a hub-and-spoke network topology for provisioning listings from a centralized registry to authorized registrars securely. Three messaging scenarios are discussed for demonstrating RETP’s operations: registrant to registrar, registrant to registrar to registry, and then finally, registrant to registrar to registry to multiple registrars.

Keywords: multiple listing service, internet protocol, distributed computing, network theory

MNM Final Three

Unfortunately, I have not yet filled out my NCAA Final Four bracket out, but I did register for my final three courses for my Master in Nonprofit Management at the University of Central Florida. Technically, I really only have two more courses left to fulfill the thirty-six mandatory hours for graduation. However, I registered for an extra public administration course so that I will have a total of six public administration courses for the option of adjuncting government related courses if I so choose in the future. Most colleges and universities require at least eighteen hours of related post-secondary courses to instruct online or face-to-face.

Here are my final three courses:

Summer 2013:
PAD 6037 Public Organization Management

Fall 2013:
PAD 6035 Public Administration in the Policy Process

PAD 6053 Public Administration in Governance

Ironically, the degree is called a Master of Nonprofit Management, however I will have taken the same amount of course work hours, eighteen, in nonprofit and public administration within the program. The other, unrelated course taken was Cybercrime from the Digital Forensics program.

Telecommuting Contract


With telecommuting in the news, my human resources course covered the topic of telecommuting for nonprofits and public organizations. Our module assignment was to develop a telecommuting contract for future staff members. I chose to create a contract for an adjunct elearning instructor teaching for the GR8U.




Below is the mindmap I created for the telecommuting contract assignment:

Thirty-eight Iterations


For my UCF graduate course in Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM), I am required to write a literature review on a current and broad topic on SHRM.

Syllabi Development


One of the key assets for course development is the course syllabus. At the moment, I am developing a new student orientation course for the GR8U, a GR8C public activity for providing real estate continuing education and eventually delivering face-to-face courses. Below is a mindmap diagram for developing a syllabus for the orientation course and future GR8U courses.

CoreyLeong.org Launches


For the past month, I have been working on a personal website, CoreyLeong.org for publishing my research, papers and future books. The most challenging aspect in developing the site was deciding on which publishing tool to use. Narrowing down the publishing choices down to two, Drupal and Mediawiki, I finally chose Mediawiki because I enjoy marking up code and content using wiki markup.




My goal is to blog about updates to my new research site along with any improvements such as new extension installations. Another purpose for the new site is for posting diagrams and photos instead of posting to Facebook or another social network. I hope other users will find my research interesting and potentially reuse and extend in new ways.
