Towards an approach for analyzing trust in Cyber-Physical-Social Systems

摘要

During the last decade the integration of smart devices into humans' lives has witnessed an exponential increase. This has led to a new paradigm namely Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) which consists of cyber components (computer systems) physical components (controlled objects) and social components (humans and their interactions). Although social components are playing a main role in CPSS their analysis did not receive much attentions. Especially the social trust among humans that allows for analyzing their expectations in one another concerning their social interactions and dependencies. In this paper we propose an approach for analyzing trust in CPSS using structured assurance cases. We illustrate the utility of the approach with an example from telemedicine domain.
