We make complex decisions every day  requiring trust in many different entities for different
reasons. These decisions are not made by combining many isolated trust evaluations. Many
interlocking factors play a role  each dynamically impacting the others. In this brief  trust
context is defined as the system level description of how the trust evaluation process unfolds.
Networks today are part of almost all human activity  supporting and shaping it. Applications
increasingly incorporate new interdependencies and new trust contexts. Social networks connect
people and organizations throughout the globe in cooperative and competitive activities.
Information is created and consumed at a global scale. Systems  devices  and sensors create and
process data  manage physical systems  and participate in interactions with other entities 
people and systems alike. To study trust in such applications  we need a multi-disciplinary
approach. This book reviews the components of the trust context through a broad review of
recent literature in many different fields of study. Common threads relevant to the trust
context across many application domains are also illustrated. Illustrations in the text © 2013
