Engineering human trust in mobile system collaborations

Towards Modeling Real-Time Trust in Asymmetric Human-Robot Collaborations

We are interested in enhancing the efficiency of human-robot collaborations, especially in “supervisor-worker” settings where autonomous robots work under the supervision of a human operator. We believe that trust serves a critical role in modeling the interactions within these teams, and also in streamlining their efficiency. We propose an operational formulation of human-robot trust on a shor...

Human Intervention on Trust Decisions for Inter-Enterprise Collaborations

Trust is an important factor in the success of interenterprise collaborations. Trust decisions are made based on whether the incentives to participate in a collaboration outweigh the risks involved. Supporting these decisions is a central activity in inter-enterprise trust management. In this paper, we review factors affecting human trust decision making in online environments and apply them to...

Trust Relationships in a Mobile Agent System

Trust management for inter-enterprise collaborations

Enterprise computing is moving towards more open, collaborative systems, which involves issues in technical, semantic and pragmatic interoperability. Trust management focuses on pragmatic problems of whether two enterprises trust each other enough to want to collaborate in the first place, or whether they wish to end an existing endeavour due to perceived risks outweighing the trust between the...

A Trust Ontology for Business Collaborations

There are currently some ontologies of business collaboration that facilitate automated collaboration, such as evalue, REA, and BMO. However, these ontologies model the situation that all business actors can be trusted. This is not true in practice. To realize automated business collaboration, trust needs to be added to the business ontology. In this paper, we extend the evalue ontology with th...
