Trust-Based Development Framework for Distributed Systems and IoT

Trust is a critical factor when dealing with the distributed systems and Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, in developing, enhancing, and modifying such systems trust has to be considered as a major factor in all stages of system development. On the other hand, trust-based design and development would need a framework to guide system developers into extracting set of comprehensive requirements and simultaneously preventing any possible conflicts. The diversity of users, devices, and systems along with the complexity of the interactions between the system components are demanding a framework capable of dynamically addressing trust and development issues. This work is an attempt to model such framework.
