Title: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Trust and Confidence
Here is a somewhat relevant white paper I co-wrote for the US Department of Homeland Security on the topic a while back.

Colleagues,
 
Lots of discussion today yet again around the concept of trust.  I just want to make sure we don’t lose sight of the relationship between trust and confidence.   We cover this in more detail in Sect 2, but there should be some capture of this relationship in our Trust Model in Sect 3.  Also would prefer we keep the concepts simple yet general enough for adaptability.  One of the simplest definitions that I’ve seen that pretty well sums up the notion of trust in a general sense is essentially one entity’s believe that another entity will behave a certain way.  In this way, trust is indeed perception not fact.  For example, the other entity could behave unexpectedly even if there was a high degree of trust prior to any collaboration between entities.  And while such a succinct definition might make sense for human entities, the concept needs to be expanded to non-human entities, including machines (e.g., software and hardware entities/agents/components or whatever we like to call these beasts).
 
Cheers…
