A mechanism for trusted agent-based workflow transport

چکیده
Electronic workflow facilitates transactions between systems and enterprises. In this paper we employ socio-cognitive theory and technologies in the context of an agent-based workflow engine to facilitate partner selection and build trust among electronic workflow participants. These elements form useful and effective additions to the workflow context, by capturing business policy aspects. We present a modular framework used in distributed workflow that enables the application of principles of electronic contracts and security. We demonstrate how support for expert agents can be used with machine-based learning and trust building between entities.

متن کاملConex - establishing trust into data repositories
Opam is a software update system, responsible for discovering, downloading, building, and installing packages from community repositories. The data and metadata at each step should be authenticated to originate from a (transitively) trusted author. Opam does not include any mechanism to authenticate any step at the moment. We propose conex, which establishes digital signatures from the package ...
