Trust Management Xii

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th IFIP WG 11.11 International Conference on Trust Management, IFIPTM 2018, held in Toronto, ON, Canada, in July 2018. The 7 revised full papers and 3 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers feature both theoretical research and real-world case studies and cover the following topical areas: trust in information technology; socio-technical, economic, and sociological trust; trust and reputation management systems; identity management and trust; secure, trustworthy and privacy-aware systems; trust building in large scale systems; and trustworthyness of adaptive systems. Also included is the 2018 William Winsborough commemorative address.

This volume contains the proceedings of the IFIPTM 2007, the Joint iTrust and PST Conferences on Privacy, Trust Management and Security, held in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, in 2007. The annual iTrust international conference looks at trust from multidisciplinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology, philosophy, sociology as well as information technology. This volume, therefore, presents the most up-to-date research on privacy, security, and trust management.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management, STM 2016, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in September 2016, in conjunction with the 21st European Symposium Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2016. The 13 full papers together with 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. the focus on the workshop was on following topics: access control, data protection, mobile security, privacy, security and trust policies, trust models.

The paradigm of self-organisation is fundamental to theories of collective action in economic science and democratic governance in political science. Self-organisation in these social systems critically depends on voluntary compliance with conventional rules: that is, rules which are made up, mutually agreed, and modifiable 'on the fly'. How, then, can we use the self-organisation observed in such social systems as an inspiration for decentralised computer systems, which can face similar problems of coordination, cooperation and collaboration between autonomous peers?Self-Organising Multi-Agent Systems presents an innovative and systematic approach to transforming theories of economics and politics (and elements of philosophy, psychology, and jurisprudence) into an executable logical specification of conventional rules. It shows how sets of such rules, called institutions, provide an algorithmic basis for designing and implementing cyber-physical systems, enabling intelligent software processes (called agents) to manage themselves in the face of competition for scarce resources. It also provides a basis for implementing socio-technical systems with interacting human and computational intelligences in a way that is sustainable, fair and legitimate.This interdisciplinary book is essential reading for anyone interested in the 'planned emergence' of global properties, commonly-shared values or successful collective action, especially as a product of social construction, knowledge management and political arrangements. For those studying both computer science and social sciences, this book offers a radically new gateway to a transformative understanding of complex system development and social system modelling.Understanding how a computational representation of qualitative values like justice and democracy can lead to stability and legitimacy of socio-technical systems is among the most pressing software engineering challenges of modern times. This book can be read as an invitation to make the Digital Society better.Related Link(s)
