TRUST 2013 - The 16th International Workshop on Trust in Agent Societies (TRUST13)

With the growing prevalence of social interaction through electronic means, trust, reputation, privacy, and identity become more and more important. Trust is not just a simple, monolithic concept, it is multi-faceted, operates at many levels of, and plays many roles in interaction. Many computational and theoretical models and approaches to trust and reputation have been developed in the last few years. In all these cases, electronic personas may be created in many different forums: ecommerce, social networks, blogs, etc. Trust is critical for modeling and supporting groups and teams, organizations, co-ordination, negotiation, with the related trade-off
between individual utility and collective interest; or in modeling the distribution of (mis)information. Technology can also damage trust relationships already held in human organizations and relations, and favor additional challenges of deception and trust. Exploring these issues will be objective of the workshop discussions, and we will solicit novel contributions to the discussion in these areas; at the same time we will focus this edition of the workshop on the specific theme of "Trust and Norms".
