Abstract

Complex systems of interacting agents are ubiquitous in the highly interconnected, information-rich ecosystems upon which the world is more-or-less wholly dependent. Within these systems, it is often necessary for an agent, or a group of agents, such as a business, to establish within a given ecosystem a trusted group, or a region of trust. Building on an established mathematical systems modelling framework --- based on process algebra, logic, and stochastic methods --- we give a characterization of such `trust domains' that employs logical assertions of the properties required for trust and utility-theoretic constraints on the cost of establishing compliance with those properties. We develop the essential meta-theory and give a range of examples.
