Enduring Institutions and Self-Organising Trust-Adaptive Systems for an Open Grid Computing Infrastructure
1 like389 views
This document proposes research on enhancing trust in open grid computing systems through self-organizing trusted communities and enduring institutions. It aims to formalize global trust rules to address issues caused by bounded local awareness. The research would compare implicit trusted communities to Ostrom's principles of enduring institutions to evaluate if incorporating necessary institutional concepts from social models can improve system robustness and efficiency. Preliminary analysis found implicit communities already meet some principles around graduated sanctions and external authorities.
Enduring Institutions and Self-Organising Trust-Adaptive Systems for an Open Grid Computing Infrastructure
- 1. Enduring Institutions and Self-Organising Trust-Adaptive Systems for an Open Grid Computing Infrastructure Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) Problem: Trust breakdown Proposal Agent knowledge bounded to local awareness Formalise global rules as institution No chance to notice global effects locally Based on global awareness Breakdown of trust ? E.g. change minimal trust value for cooperation to -1 • within whole system Agent A 6 Trust -1 Not possible in a purely implicit Trusted Community • or Trusted Community B -0.5 Agent Trust C -1 A 6 B -1 -0.5 Thus: import necessary institutional concepts • example of global situation Agent D D -1 from existing social models Agent Trust B 6 -1 C -1 D -1 Agent C Agent A Agent Trust A 6 -1 C -1 D -1 Agent B Starting point: Trusted Computing Grid Parallel computation of complex tasks Agents act as Workers and Submitters Open system: trust reduced information uncertainty Highly dynamic application scenario for trust-based interactions Implicit Trusted Community: • set of agents which mutually trust each other • exclusion of untrustworthy agents • enhances efficiency and robustness of members Conventional Desktop Grid Trusted Computing Grid Research programme Evaluation Explicit Trusted Communities Comparison of implicit Trusted Communities with Definite membership function Ostrom’s principles of enduring institutions Observed and controlled by 1.
