Download or read book Trust and Fairness in Open Distributed Systems written by Adam Wierzbicki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to bring closer the greater vision of the development of Social Informatics. Social Informatics can be de?ned as a discipline of informatics that studies how information systems can realize social goals, use social concepts, or become sources of information about social phenomena. All of these research directions are present in this book: fairness is a social goal; trust is a social concept; and much of this book bases on the study of traces of Internet auctions (used also to drive social simulations) that are a rich source of information about social phenomena. The book has been written for an audience of graduate students working in the area of informatics and the social sciences, in an attempt to bridge the gap between the two disciplines. Because of this, the book avoids the use of excessive mathematical formalism, especially in Chapter 2 that attempts to summarize the theoretical basis of the two disciplines of trust and fa- ness management. Readers are usually directed to quoted literature for the purpose of studying mathematical proofs of the cited theorems.

Download or read book Detailing Reviews and Ratings for Trust Enhanced Composition written by Florian Volk and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet has developed from an information platform to a business platform. Fostered by the Internet of Things, the Internet of Services is the "new economy" in the Internet. Business providers compose Internet services offered by other parties to value-added, composite services. A new business model has evolved from the possibility to combine independent services to new ones. This book contributes new methods and approaches to stakeholders in the setting of composite services in the Internet of Services. Providers and customers often encounter situations in which information on the quality of offered services is scarce and subject to uncertainty. Deciding for one service or the other includes the possibility of unwittingly paying for a service of low quality while another, better, service is readily available. Distinguishing between good and bad services is both difficult and important for successful business activities in this setting. While trust is a well-known concept in human interaction, it has long been neglected in technical settings. Since the introduction of computational trust, researchers are working on making mechanisms of human trust usable in technical settings. This book applies and evolves computational trust for the application in composite service settings.

Download or read book Trustworthy Open Self Organising Systems written by Wolfgang Reif and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats the computational use of social concepts as the focal point for the realisation of a novel class of socio-technical systems, comprising smart grids, public display environments, and grid computing. These systems are composed of technical and human constituents that interact with each other in an open environment. Heterogeneity, large scale, and uncertainty in the behaviour of the constituents and the environment are the rule rather than the exception. Ensuring the trustworthiness of such systems allows their technical constituents to interact with each other in a reliable, secure, and predictable way while their human users are able to understand and control them. "Trustworthy Open Self-Organising Systems" contains a wealth of knowledge, from trustworthy self-organisation mechanisms, to trust models, methods to measure a user's trust in a system, a discussion of social concepts beyond trust, and insights into the impact open self-organising systems will have on society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in computer networking have allowed computer systems across the world to be interconnected. Open Distributed Processing (ODP) systems are those that support heterogenous distributed applications both within and between autonomous organizations. Many challenges must be overcome before ODP systems can be fully realized. This book describes the recent advances in the theory and practice of developing, deploying and managing open distributed systems. Applications of these systems include but are not limited to telecommunication, medical and large scale transaction processing and electronic commerce systems. All of these are currently developed on distributed platforms. For anybody working in industry or research in this field, Open Distributed Processing and Distributed Platforms will prove an invaluable text.

Download or read book Automated Multiparty Authorization in Open Distributed Systems written by Chengqiang Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of the Internet, open distributed computing such as peer-to-peer file sharing and grid computing has become increasingly popular. As these systems exhibit an increasing level of online interactions and cooperations among individuals and organizations, there is also an increasing need for dynamic and secure sharing of resources across the boundaries of different administrative domains. Traditional identity-based access control often bases its authorization solely on the authentication of a user to a known identity, and becomes unsuitable for open systems, where the interacting parties could be total strangers to each other, yet still have the need for rapid and secure resource sharing. Another aspect of authorization in open distributed computing is that it often involves interactions among multiple parties. Such interactions can have dependencies among each other, and have to be interleaved in a certain order for the authorization to succeed. Many existing authorization approaches assume that authorizations are between two parties (either a client and a server, or two symmetric parties with no client-server relationship), and cannot be readily applied to the problem of solving authorization issues among multiple parties. Other approaches either make assumptions that cannot be generalized, or lack important features like providing the participating parties with autonomy and customization. The goal of the thesis is to provide new approaches to automatic, secure, and efficient trust establishment among multiple parties in an open distributed environment. Automated trust negotiation (ATN) is a promising approach to establishing trust between two entities without any prior knowledge of each other. ATN uses gradual trust establishment by iterative credential exchanges, thus avoiding unsecured disclosure of sensitive information. Yet the fact that it applies to only two parties makes it inadequate to solve many real-world authorizations that involve online input from third parties. Inspired by ATN, we introduce multiparty trust negotiation (MTN) as a new approach to multiparty authorization. We propose a declarative language to specify MTN policies, a generic negotiation protocol to orchestrate MTN without a centralized moderator, and two negotiation strategies to drive MTN with different tradeoffs between privacy and negotiation speed. Both the negotiation strategies we propose guarantee that each participating party's authorization policies are satisfied, and that the negotiation succeeds as long as a possible authorization exists. While MTN provides an effective solution to trust establishment among multiple parties in an interactive way, it does not support features like delegation and redissemination control. What is still missing is a general authorization framework that can be used to model and reason about the runtime behavior of a diverse set of peers in an open system, and provides a rich set of features to satisfy their assorted authorization requirements. Motivated by these needs, we introduce the PeerAccess authorization framework. PeerAccess provides a declarative language to describe a peer's access control policies, and supports delegation, disclosure control, and redissemination control. While it is easy to verify a proof of authorization encoded in PeerAccess, the multilateral and distributed nature of multiparty authorization makes it difficult to construct such proofs. To facilitate distributed proof construction, we propose query routing rules to allow each peer to customize its proof search behavior based on knowledge about where to get a certain credential. Configured with different query routing...
