Thesesystems are composed of technical and human constituents that interact witheach other in an open environment. Heterogeneity, large scale, and uncertaintyin the behaviour of the constituents and the environment are the rule ratherthan the exception.
Ensuringthe trustworthiness of such systems allows their technical constituents tointeract with each other in a reliable, secure, and predictable way while theirhuman users are able to understand and control them.

Summary
This book
treats the computational use of social concepts as the focal point for the
realisation of a novel class of socio-technical systems, comprising smart
grids, public display environments, and grid computing.
These
systems are composed of technical and human constituents that interact with
each other in an open environment. Heterogeneity, large scale, and uncertainty
in the behaviour of the constituents and the environment are the rule rather
than the exception.
Ensuring
the trustworthiness of such systems allows their technical constituents to
interact with each other in a reliable, secure, and predictable way while their
human users are able to understand and control them.
"Trustworthy
Open Self-Organising Systems" contains a wealth of knowledge, from
trustworthy self-organisation mechanisms, to trust models, methods to measure a
user's trust in a system, a discussion of social concepts beyond trust, and
insights into the impact open self-organising systems will have on society.
