Abstract

Abstract: Recently, viewpoint resolution methods which make conflicts productive have gained popularity in requirements engineering for organizational information systems. However, when extending such methods beyond organizational boundaries to social networks, sociological research indicates that a delicate balance of trust in individuals, confidence in the network as a whole, and watchful distrust becomes a key success factor. We capture these relationships in the so-called TCD (Trust-Confidence- Distrust) approach and demonstrate how this approach can be supported by a dynamic requirements engineering environment that combines the structural analysis of strategic dependencies and rationales, with the interaction between planning, tracing, and communicative action. An example drawn from an ongoing case study in entrepreneurship networks illustrates our approach.
