This is increasingly forcing us to rely on control.  Yet the notion of trust and trustworthiness is essential to the continued development of a technology-enabled society.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrust, Complexity and Control\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers a single, consistent explanation of how the sociological concept of ‘trust’ can be applied to a broad spectrum of technology-related areas; convergent communication, automated agents, digital security, semantic web, artificial intelligence, e-commerce, e-government, privacy etc. It presents a model of confidence in which trust and control are driven and limited by complexity in one explanatory framework and demonstrates how that framework can be applied to different research and application areas. Starting with the individual’s assessment of trust, the book shows the reader how application of the framework can clarify misunderstandings and offer solutions to complex problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe uniqueness of \u003ci\u003eTrust, Complexity and Control\u003c\/i\u003e  is its interdisciplinary treatment of a variety of diverse areas using a single framework.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSections featured include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrust and distrust in the digital world.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe impact of convergent communication and networks on trust.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrust, economy and commerce.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTrust-enhancing technologies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrust, Complexity and Control\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable source of reference for both researchers and practitioners within the Trust community.
