Abstract

Self-managing or autonomic computing is a highly emerging field having been championed by industry and academia alike. Essentially the management of the system is being handed to the system itself, therefore the issue of trust in terms of the decisions the system makes regarding itself, is of paramount interest. This paper considers four aspects of trust in self-adaptive computing systems with the aim to identify trends and pinpoint areas that require more investigation.
