This book encapsulates some work done in the DIRC project concerned
with trust and responsibility in socio-technical systems. It brings
together a range of disciplinary approaches - computer science,
sociology and software engineering - to produce a socio-technical
systems perspective on the issues surrounding trust in technology
in complex settings. Computer systems can only bring about their
purported benefits if functionality, users and usability are
central to their design and deployment. Thus, technology can only
be trusted in situ and in everyday use if these issues have been
brought to bear on the process of technology design, implementation
and use. The studies detailed in this book analyse the ways in
which trust in technology is achieved and/or worked around in
everyday situations in a range of settings - including hospitals, a
steelworks, a public enquiry, the financial services sector and air
traffic control.
