Interactive Simulation of an Open Trusted Desktop Grid System with Visualisation in 3D

Abstract

In an open Trusted Desktop Grid system, users can voluntarily participate in order to share resources. Thereby, computational trust is used to isolate malicious agents. Since a fully self-organised solution can suffer in emergent situations like the trust-breakdown scenario, we investigate an additional normative entity to guide the overall system behaviour by still keeping the autonomy of all agents. Within this interactive demonstration, we present a 3D visualisation of the current system status showing how the mutual trust relations between agents and / or groups of agents could be used as basis for automated decisions to issue norms.
