A survey of trust in computer science and the Semantic Web

The Digital Library universe is a complex framework. The growth and evolution of this framework in terms of approaches, solutions and systems has led to the need for common foundations capable of setting the basis for better understanding, communicating and stimulating further evolution in this area. The DELOS Digital Library Reference Model aims at contributing to the creation of such foundations. It exploits the collective understanding on Digital Libraries that has been acquired by European research groups active in the Digital Library field for many years, both within the DELOS Network of Excellence and beyond, as well as by other groups around the world. It identifies the set of concepts and relationships that characterise the essence of the Digital Library universe. This model should be considered as a roadmap allowing the various players involved in the Digital Library domain to follow the same route and share a common understanding in dealing with the entities of such a universe. This volume presents the DELOS Reference Model by introducing the principles governing it as well as the set of concepts and relationships that collectively capture the intrinsic nature of the various entities of the Digital Library universe. Because of the broad coverage of the Digital Library universe, its evolving nature, and the lack of any previous agreement on its foundations, the Reference Model is by necessity a dynamic framework, as is also this document. Continuous evolutions of the document are envisaged in order to obtain a number of well-formed and consolidated definitions, shared by the Digital Library community.

Trust management is currently being tackled from two different perspectives: a “strong and crisp” approach, where decisions are founded on logical rules and verifiable properties encoded in digital credentials, and a “soft and social” approach, based on reputation measures gathered and shared by a distributed community. We analyze the differences between the two models of trust and argue that an integrated approach would improve significantly trust management systems. We support our claim with real world scenarios and illustrate how the two models are integrated in PROTUNE, the core policy specification language of the network of excellence

An Integration of Reputation-based and Policy-based Trust Management

Literature on business process compliance (BPC) has predominantly focused on the alignment of the regulatory rules with the design, verification and validation of business processes. Previously surveys on BPC have been conducted with specific context in mind; however, the literature on BPC management research is largely sparse and does not accumulate a detailed understanding on existing literature and related issues faced by the domain. This survey provides a holistic view of the literature on existing BPC management approaches, and categories them based on different compliance management strategies in the context of formulated research questions. A systematic literature approach is used where search terms pertaining keywords were used to identify literature related to the research questions from scholarly databases. From initially 183 papers, we selected 79 papers related to the themes of this survey published between 2000{2015. The survey results reveal that mostly compliance management approaches center around three distinct categories namely: design-time (28%), run-time (32%) and auditing (10%). Also, organisational and internal control based compliance management frameworks (21%) and hybrid approaches make (9%) of the surveyed approaches. Furthermore, open research challenges and gaps are identified and discussed with respect to the compliance problem.

Are we done with business process compliance: state of the art and challenges ahead

Regulatory compliance management (RCM) is a problem gaining wide interest in the business process management (BPM) community. However, research has not yet provided a non-ambiguous and agreed-upon definition of RCM, and it is hard for newcomers to this field of research to get a clear overview of available results. This paper surveys and analyzes solutions proposed in research on RCM from the perspective of BPM, and gives an insight into the current strengths and limitations of solutions to RCM applied to BPM. We extract a set of evaluation criteria on RCM elicited from the surveyed works and proceed to a comparative analysis of the latter against the identified requirements.

project deliverable D1, Working Group I2 - This report provides an overview of the existing approaches to logic and rule-based system behavior specification in the light of the peculiar needs of business and security rules. It identifies usage scenarios for rule based policies in a semantic web context and it outlines the possible directions of future research.
