The literature on interorganizational systems (IOSs) has paid limited attention to non-buyer-supplier relationships and to the way IOSs relate to trust. Empirical evidence on trust is also limited. In this paper, we report on a qualitative empirical study of the relationship between trust and IOSs in strategic alliances (SAs). The results support a bi-directional relationship between trust and ...

Despite the relevance of generating trust in electronic marketplace settings, research addressing the impact of electronic marketplace characteristics on trust is still limited. The few works focusing on the relationships between the electronic marketplace and trust only pay attention to a limited subset of institution-based functions and services. In this paper we extend these works by focusin...

Trust models as thus far described in the literature can be seen as a monolithic structure: a trust model is provided with a variety of inputs and the model performs calculations, resulting in a trust evaluation as output. The agent has no direct method of adapting its trust model to its needs in a given context. In this article, we propose a first step in allowing an agent to reason about its ...

Trust models have been used widely in the literature in a number of different contexts. We examine an emotive scenario where trust would be extremely useful: online dating. We explore the use of a semiring-based trust model with online dating in a social network. Introductions are facilitated by friend-of-a-friend connections in the network in a manner similar to some real world scenarios. We s...

Among the various human factors impinging upon making a decision in an uncertain environment, risk and trust are surely crucial ones. Several models for trust have been proposed in the literature but few explicitly take risk into account. This paper analyses the relationship between the two concepts by first looking at how a decision is made to enter into a transaction based on the risk informa...

Due to nonexistence of or little of pre-existing communication infrastructure, ad hoc network permits wireless mobile nodes to self-organize into random and momentary network topologies. Security is a critical concern in ad hoc networks owing to its intrinsic vulnerabilities. A number of security solutions are suggested in the literature but still more is needed. Augmentation of trust to the ex...

With the advent of the internet and rise of less personal, face to face interaction in online commerce, as well as increasing reports of fraud and security breaches, trust has become a critical part of conducting business in the digital economy. This paper develops a framework and model for understanding and building trust by combining some landmark research on the creation and production of tr...

This technical report classifies and compares the trust management approaches and the relevant trust models proposed by the literature and especially targeted at distributed environments. The report identifies the requirements of a distributed trust model for the NeP4B cooperative and competitive scenario. After this analysis, an initial design of the NeP4B trust model is proposed, with a speci...
