A development framework for trust-aware self-adaptive systems

This Thursday prepare to dance flamenco, eat tapas and drink some wonderful sangria with Francisco Moyano.

Francisco Moyano is a Ph.D student at the University of Malaga, Spain and is doing a short internship, for the second time, in the Triskell team. His research  interests include trust management and security engineering.

Francisco’s presentation will focus on his Ph.D work around Trust and Reputation.

Trust is continuously increasing in relevance, and is part of the field of Computer Security. There is no standard definition for trust, but it is often agreed that trust can leverage decision-making processes under risk and uncertainty. Reputation is a concept tighly coupled to trust and which has often been used in web applications to empower users with better decision criteria. Yet trust and reputation have not been tackled seriously from a software engineering perspective. In this talk, we will see a trust framework built on top of the Kevoree component model that yields a breeding ground for building better reconfiguration decisions in self-adaptive systems.

Olé Francisco, we trust you to give a good talk… braaavo !!!
