Reviews

From the reviews: "Social trust is becoming fundamental in computer science (CS), distributed systems, multiagent systems, e-commerce, and communication. This book provides a survey of the computational trust field. … This is a commendable effort by the editor to consolidate the growing literature on computational trust in a single volume. … it is a useful reference for both theorists and practitioners in the field of computational trust." (Haris Aziz, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
