As they continue to become faster and cheaper, devices with enhanced computing communication capabilities are increasingly incorporated into diverse objects structures in the physical environment [...]

Assessing the trustworthiness of information found on the Web is challenging because of two factors. First, there is a little control over publishing quality. Second, Web users have little information available on which to base judgment of the trustworthiness of Web information while they are interacting with it. This work addresses this problem by collecting and presenting metadata about autho...

In this paper, we present a framework for automatic selection and composition of services which exploits trustworthiness of services as a metric for measuring the quality of service composition. Trustworthiness is defined in terms of service reputation extracted from user profiles. The profiles are, in particular, extracted and inferred from a social network which accumulates users past experie...

We examine the degree of trust and trustworthiness in an experimental trust game with 662 participants from six different age groups, ranging from 8-year-olds to retired persons. Although both trust and trustworthiness have been identified as fundamental pillars for efficient economic interactions, economic research has devoted little attention to measuring their strength in different age group...

In a visualization task, every nonlinear projection method needs to make a compromise between trustworthiness and continuity. In a trustworthy projection the visualized proximities hold in the original data as well, whereas a continuous projection visualizes all proximities of the original data. We show experimentally that one of the multidimensional scaling methods, curvilinear components anal...

This paper introduces a new process for a rigorous component-centered development of trustworthy systems. The rationale for our perspective of the process is two-fold. The activities prescribed in a conventional software engineering development process are neither suitable nor sufficient for developing component-based systems. Component-based development methods that are currently practised do ...
