Modeling Trust Context in Networks
Modeling Trust Context in Networks by Sibel Adali, published by Springer New York on April 30, 2013, is an 83-page exploration of the complexities involved in trust evaluations within networks. The book defines “trust context” as a system-level description of how trust evaluations are influenced by various interlocking factors. It addresses the necessity of understanding trust in the context of modern networks, which play a crucial role in human activities and interactions.
Readers will find a comprehensive review of the components that shape trust contexts, drawing from recent literature across multiple disciplines. The book discusses how social networks and interconnected systems influence trust evaluations, highlighting the dynamic interplay between different entities. By examining these relationships, the text aims to provide insights into the evolving nature of trust in networking applications, making it relevant for those interested in computers, networking, and computer simulation.
Official synopsis Publisher
We make complex decisions every day, requiring trust in many different entities for different reasons. These decisions are not made by combining many isolated trust evaluations. Many interlocking factors play a role, each dynamically impacting the others. In this brief, “trust context” is defined as the system level description of how the trust evaluation process unfolds.
Networks today are part of almost all human activity, supporting and shaping it. Applications increasingly incorporate new interdependencies and new trust contexts. Social networks connect people and organizations throughout the globe in cooperative and competitive activities. Information is created and consumed at a global scale. Systems, devices, and sensors create and process data, manage physical systems, and participate in interactions with other entities, people and systems alike. To study trust in such applications, we need a multi-disciplinary approach. This book reviews the components of the trust context through a broad review of recent literature in many different fields of study. Common threads relevant to the trust context across many application domains are also illustrated.
