An increasing reliance on the Internet and mobile communication has
deprived us of our usual means of assessing another party's
trustworthiness. This is increasingly forcing us to rely on
control. Yet the notion of trust and trustworthiness is essential
to the continued development of a technology-enabled society.
"Trust, Complexity and Control" offers readers a single,
consistent explanation of how the sociological concept of 'trust'
can be applied to a broad spectrum of technology-related areas;
convergent communication, automated agents, digital security,
semantic web, artificial intelligence, e-commerce, e-government,
privacy etc. It presents a model of confidence in which trust and
control are driven and limited by complexity in one explanatory
framework and demonstrates how that framework can be applied to
different research and application areas. Starting with the
individual's assessment of trust, the book shows the reader how
application of the framework can clarify misunderstandings and
offer solutions to complex problems.
The uniqueness of "Trust, Complexity and Control" is its
interdisciplinary treatment of a variety of diverse areas using a
single framework.
Sections featured include:
- Trust and distrust in the digital world.
- The impact of convergent communication and networks on
trust.
- Trust, economy and commerce.
- Trust-enhancing technologies.
"Trust, Complexity and Control" is an invaluable source of
reference for both researchers and practitioners within the Trust
community. It will also be of benefit to students and lecturers in
the fields of information technology, social sciences and computer
engineering.
