Contextual Models of Trust

The CMT project aims to develop Contextual Models of Trust. While trust, in some form, is inherent in all human relationships the CMT project focuses on the issue of trust in relation to the design of systems for people finding and software-component reuse. The purpose of the project is to investigate the prospects of recording information about the use of people sources and software components and subsequently utilizing this information for building trust models to support later users of the people-finding or component-reuse system.
