Trust Theory

Beschreibung

This book provides an introduction, discussion, and formal-basedmodelling of trust theory and its applications in agent-basedsystems This book gives an accessible explanation of the importance oftrust in human interaction and, in general, in autonomous cognitiveagents including autonomous technologies. The authors explain theconcepts of trust, and describe a principled, general theory oftrust grounded on cognitive, cultural, institutional, technical,and normative solutions. This provides a strong base for theauthor's discussion of role of trust in agent-based systemssupporting human-computer interaction and distributed and virtualorganizations or markets (multi-agent systems). Key Features: * Provides an accessible introduction to trust, and itsimportance and applications in agent-based systems * Proposes a principled, general theory of trust grounding oncognitive, cultural, institutional, technical, and normativesolutions. * Offers a clear, intuitive approach, and systematic integrationof relevant issues * Explains the dynamics of trust, and the relationship betweentrust and security * Offers operational definitions and models directly applicableboth in technical and experimental domains * Includes a critical examination of trust models in economics,philosophy, psychology, sociology, and AI This book will be a valuable reference for researchers andadvanced students focused on information and communicationtechnologies (computer science, artificial intelligence,organizational sciences, and knowledge management etc.), as well asWeb-site and robotics designers, and for scholars working on human,social, and cultural aspects of technology. Professionals ofecommerce systems and peer-to-peer systems will also find this textof interest.

"I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to delve deepinto the concept of trust, in particular for use in computationalapplications and social simulations to strengthen awareness ofcomplexity, complications and conundrums of trust." (JASSS,2011) "Castelfranchi and Falcone's (both Italian National ResearchCouncil) is the first book providing an overview of the field ofmodeling trust and computational models of trust." (BookNews, September 2010)
