Abstract

Adaptation brings with it challenges related to trust. Mission critical and safety related systems usually require very predictable and repeatable behavior in order to be deployed. However, adaptation can satisfy many of the newer requirements of these systems. Service oriented architectures that adapt can enhance robustness, yet they bring the issue of choosing which of several services to trust for a particular need. Some adaptive systems require human interaction or must observe their human users in order to effect the adaptation. Users must develop trust for these systems so that they feel their time and energy are not wasted and that the system will in fact yield increased efficiency and effectiveness. This paper discusses these challenges and suggests some solutions for ensuring trust in adaptive systems.
