Dynamic trust assessment of software services

ABSTRACT

Trust assessment is a key prerequisite for the adoption of software services but poorly supported by existing methods and technology especially when it comes to trust in dynamically composed and deployed software services. In this position paper, we discuss why this is the case and outline a programme of research focusing on the development of platform for dynamic trust assessment of software services.
