Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: With the emergence of Web 2.0 (social network platforms) some Knowledge Management theorists saw the potential for incorporating its collaborative and networking features in Knowledge Management Systems. However, the consensus is that harnessing Web 2.0 features for Knowledge Management is still in its infancy and according to some it seems that Web 2.0 success in the social sphere is hard to translate to the work context. The thesis argues that Web 2.0 primarily facilitates Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and in this way indirectly contributes to Organisational Knowledge Management. Furthermore not all Web 2.0 features are equally useful in facilitating Personal Knowledge Management. The thesis identifies the group features of social network platforms as the prime locations for networking and learning. The thesis is theoretically based on Cheong and Tsui's PKM 2.0 model, in particular the Interpersonal Knowledge Transferring phase that in turn is based on Nonaka's SECI model of knowledge conversion. The thesis starts out with considering the distinction and relationship between Organisational Knowledge Management (OKM) and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). Thereafter Cheong and Tsui's PKM 2.0 model is described as well as Nonaka's SECI model. The Web 2.0 phenomenon is introduced through a literature review of various studies on the usefulness of social network platforms and the group features are specifically highlighted. A survey is conducted among users of a particular Web 2.0 group feature, based on questions developed from the SECI and PKM 2.0 models. The thesis comes to the conclusion that the group features of Web 2.0 social network platforms are useful for Knowledge Management, because it is indeed a component of users' Personal Knowledge Management.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sekere Kennisbestuursteoretici het met die opkoms van Web 2.0 (sosiale netwerk-platforms) die moontlikheid waargeneem om die samewerks- en netwerk-funksionaliteit van Web 2.0 platforms met bestaande Kennisbestuurstelsels te integreer. Die konsensus is egter dat sulke pogings nog veel tekortskiet en sommige waarnemers meen dat dit baie moeilik sal wees om Web 2.0 se sukses in die sosiale sfeer in die werksplek in te span. Die tesis argumenteer dat Web 2.0 hoofsaaklik Persoonlike Kennisbestuur (PKB) fasiliteer en langs hierdie ompad 'n bydrae lewer tot Organisatoriese Kennisbestuur (OKB). Verder lewer alle funksionaliteite van Web 2.0 nie 'n bruikbare bydra tot Kennisbestuur nie, maar is dit hoofsaaklik die groepsfunksies wat bruikbaar is in terme van netwerking en leer. Die tesis is teoreties gewortel in Cheong en Tsui se PKB 2.0 model, veral die Interpersoonlike Kennisoordragsfase wat weer op Nonaka se SEKI model gebaseer is. Die tesis oorweeg aanvanklik die onderskeid en verhouding tussen Organisatoriese Kennisbestuur (OKB) en Persoonlike Kennisbestuur (PKB). Daarna word Cheong en Tsui se PKB 2.0 model en Nonaka se SEKI model bespreek. Die Web 2.0 fenomeen word beskryf aan die hand van 'n literatuurstudie van navorsing oor die bruikbaarheid van Web 2.0 platforms en die groepsfunksionaliteit word spesifiek belig. 'n Vraelys, gebaseer op die SEKI en PKB 2.0 modelle, is onder gebruikers van 'n spesifieke Web 2.0 groepsfunksie geadministreer. Die tesis kom tot die konklusie dat die groepsfunksies van Web 2.0 sosiale netwerk-platforms bruikbaar is vir Kennisbestuur, want dit is inderdaad 'n komponent van gebruikers se Persoonlike Kennisbestuur (PKB).

Pełny tekst źródłaThe concept of virtual community of practice (VCoP) emanates from the need to create a new mode of learning and knowledge creation. It is found that highly structured forums are not necessarily the best way to assist people to learn and improve their knowledge. This then, requires organisations to seek alternative informal ways to share knowledge. The significance of optimising knowledge sharing results in VCoPs receiving considerable attention while searching for new ways to draw on expertise dispersed across global operations. This impacts organisations, thereby enabling them to respond more speedily to the demands of their stakeholders. The fast pace of change in their business environments is also a factor to contend with. Within this context, the use of VCoPs to optimise both, tacit and explicit knowledge sharing within stakeholders, is the central theme of this research. The findings from literature enables the researcher to explore scientific based models that may have the potential to enhance knowledge sharing in an enterprise. The Life Cycle knowledge flow model is found to be the most comprehensive compared to two other models – namely, a Spiral knowledge flow model and Dynamic knowledge flow model. The outflow from the findings in literature is that the Life Cycle knowledge flow model is selected as the basis to conduct two surveys to determine if the model could be adapted to improve knowledge sharing within VCoPs in particular, and in an enterprise in general. The result of the two surveys conducted (in 2011/2012 and 2016), leads to establishing an extended Life Cycle knowledge flow model. The established model enhances knowledge sharing within VCoPs, and in turn, assists when optimising knowledge sharing in an enterprise. This extended model covers six phases of knowledge development to improve knowledge sharing within VCoPs. The first phase enhances the creation of both, tacit and explicit knowledge. The second phase enables to optimise the organisation of knowledge. The third phase enables the formalisation of tacit knowledge, that is, conversion of tacit to explicit knowledge. The fourth phase improves the distribution of knowledge. The fifth phase enables to optimise the application of knowledge and the final phase enables the evolution or continuous development of knowledge. The contribution of this research proposes that a comprehensive knowledge flow model, namely the Life Cycle knowledge flow model found in literature, served as the basis for this research. However, this model was never tested or verified if it indeed optimises knowledge sharing within VCoPs. The two surveys (Survey One 2011/12 and Survey Two 2016) were developed and distributed to respondents to verify the model’s suitability to VcoPs. As a result of responses received from the two surveys, the researcher was then able to develop an extended Life Cycle knowledge flow model that particularly, optimises knowledge sharing within VCoPs. This research further contributes in formulating a scientific based knowledge flow model that can be adapted to social networks. Therefore, this research also creates the foundation to further study to investigate the optimisation of knowledge sharing in social networks. In recent literature, social networks are established as one of the informal mechanisms to share and enhance knowledge sharing in an enterprise.

Resumo: Com o surgimento e a popularização de Redes Sociais Online e de Serviços de Redes Sociais, pesquisadores da área de computação têm encontrado um campo fértil para o desenvolvimento de trabalhos com grande volume de dados, modelos envolvendo múltiplos agentes e dinâmicas espaço-temporais. Entretanto, mesmo com significativo elenco de pesquisas já publicadas no assunto, ainda existem aspectos das redes sociais cuja explicação é incipiente. Visando o aprofundamento do conhecimento da área, este trabalho investiga fenômenos de compartilhamento coletivo na rede, que caracterizam eventos de difusão de informação. A partir da observação de dados reais oriundos do serviço online Twitter, tais eventos são modelados, caracterizados e analisados. Com o uso de técnicas de aprendizado de máquina, são encontrados padrões nos processos espaço-temporais da rede, tornando possível a construção de classificadores de mensagens baseados em comportamento e a caracterização de comportamentos individuais, a partir de conexões sociais
Abstract: With the advent and popularization of Online Social Networks and Social Networking Services, computer science researchers have found fertile field for the development of studies using large volumes of data, multiple agents models and spatio-temporal dynamics. However, even with a significant amount of published research on the subject, there are still aspects of social networks whose explanation is incipient. In order to deepen the knowledge of the area, this work investigates phenomena of collective sharing on the network, characterizing information diffusion events. From the observation of real data obtained from the online service Twitter, we collect, model and characterize such events. Finally, using machine learning and computational data analysis, patterns are found on the network's spatio-temporal processes, making it possible to classify a message's topic from users behaviour and the characterization of individual behaviour, from social connections

Pełny tekst źródłaSocial networks rely on concepts such as collaboration, cooperation, replication, flow, speed, interaction, engagement, and aim the continuous sharing and resharing of information in support of the permanent social interaction. Facebook, the largest social network in the world, reached, in May 2016, the mark of 1.09 billion active users daily, draining 161.7 million hours of users’ attention to the website every day. These users share 4.75 billion units of content daily. The research presented in this dissertation aims to investigate the management of knowledge and collective intelligence, from the introduction of mechanisms that aim to enable users to manage and organize current information in the feeds from Facebook groups in which they participate, turning Facebook into a collective knowledge and information management device that goes far beyond mere interaction and communication among people. The adoption of Design Science Research methodology is intended to instill the "genes" of collective intelligence, as presented in the literature, in the computational artifact being developed, so that intelligence can be managed and used to create even more knowledge and intelligence to and by the group. The main theoretical contribution of this dissertation is to discuss knowledge management and collective intelligence in a complementary and integrated manner, showing how efforts to obtain one also contribute to leveraging the other.

Pełny tekst źródłaCitizen science is the participation of people who are not scientists in research processes such as data collection and analysis. Citizen science provides various benefits like faster and easier data collection, investigation of environmental challenges from biodiversity to climate change, as well as contributing to astronomy research and leading to collaboration between the scientists and the public.Realising the potential benefits of citizen science depends on understanding the perspectives of participants. In this study, I examine different ways of participation in citizen science and how the motivations of participants, the design of the platforms, and other factors are associated with these. The thesis contributes to our understanding of the key ingredients in designing citizen science programs so as to increase the engagement of the public.In the first part, I carried out a literature survey by bibliometric analysis. This part focuses on challenges, success factors, and motivations in citizen science. The rest of the thesis is composed of one qualitative and another quantitative study by focusing on three citizen science platforms that are actively used in the field of ornithology in two countries, Turkey and France, which are Faune-France from France, Trakuş and eKuşbank (eBird Turkey) from Turkey.In the qualitative part, through semi-structured in-depth interviews, I examine the actors, different ways of participation, motivations, and negative externalities that may arise using the Multi-Sided Platforms (MSPs) and knowledge commons literature.The results of this part helped us identify four roles in the platforms: birdwatcher, bird photographer, scientist, and hunter, interacting with each other and creating externalities.I also found two types of participation: active and passive. Regarding motivations, the findings suggested similarities in the previous studies. However, as different from previous work, I highlighted the need to distinguish motivations for engagement in the platform on the one hand and motivations for the subject matter (birds in our case) on the other.In the second part, by conducting a large-scale survey targeted at the participants of the three platforms and an econometric analysis, I examined how motivations are associated with participation, as well as the negative externalities and values created by the platform. In this part, I draw upon the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Multi-Sided Platforms (MSPs), and negative externalities concept from the commons literature.The findings in the second part suggest that the two types of motivations identified in the first part (motivation for the subject and motivation for platform engagement) are positively associated with active and passive participation. Also, values offered by the platform and platforms' ways of addressing negative externalities have different impacts on active and passive participation based on the context, such as the participants' perceived importance of competitions positively affecting their active participation in France, whereas not having a significant impact in Turkey. Similarly, participants' perceived importance of the protection of sensitive data by the platform has a negative association with passive participation in France while being positively associated with it in Turkey. These results are important to understand the participants and to better design successful citizen science platforms

Invention is largely information driven. Everyone in a community of inventors is an aggregator of information relevant to invention. Sharing some of this information across a community of inventors will result in greater invention effectiveness at the individual and community levels. Sharing this information via an electronic database is an attractive proposition, but gaining attention and participation is difficult. Networked display devices can help foster awareness and participation in a community information sharing system.

Pedagogical mediation in distance education is addressed within the context of increasing use of digital technologies in education, either as a support for onsite education at all levels, or as a support for online learning environments for undergraduate courses, including continuing education for teachers, which is the focus of this research. The research was carried out between 2005 and 2007 as part of a graduate course entitled Contemporary Reading and Writing Practices offered online for technical-pedagogical assistants (ATPs), learning supervisors, coordinators and teacher of Secondary and High schools of the São Paulo, Brazil, state school system. The aim of the study was to show that the arrhythmia among mediation, learning and literacies, perceived as lack of time, had its origin in non-systemic, fragmented conceptual theories that became an important factor of exclusion in relation to social practices for knowledge production, as reflected in the significant dropout rate (61.5%) of in practice mediators. The methodology used was based on action-research. Data was registered in a digital field journal that became a set of digital documents that stored the emerging observations as the course unfolded. Results showed that online mediation, learning and different types of literacies actually constitute a single, complex process, which, if not considered as a systemic relation among its components, can produce an arrhythmia among its elements, leading to drop-outs/exclusion. Hence the arrhythmia among mediation, learning and literacies appears as an important analytical category to measure the quality of social practices in distance education
Este trabalho tem como tema a mediação pedagógica em educação a distância e insere-se no contexto de uso crescente das tecnologias digitais na educação, seja como suporte ao ensino presencial, em qualquer nível, seja passando pela graduação a distância e se estendendo à formação continuada dos educadores, foco desta investigação. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida entre os anos de 2005 e 2007 como parte do curso de aperfeiçoamento Práticas de Leitura e Escrita na Contemporaneidade, oferecido a distância para assistentes técnico-pedagógicos (ATPs), supervisores de ensino, professores coordenadores e professores de Ensino Fundamental II e do Ensino Médio da rede pública estadual de São Paulo. Ela teve como objetivo mostrar que o processo de arritmia entre a mediação, a aprendizagem e os letramentos, apontado pelo sintoma da falta de tempo, foi originado por concepções teóricas fragmentadas e não sistêmicas, e constituiu em um importante fator de exclusão em relação às práticas sociais de produção do conhecimento, fato ocorrido no curso quando uma parcela significativa dos mediadores em formação (61,5%) abandou suas turmas. O referencial metodológico baseou-se na pesquisa-ação, e os dados foram registrados no diário digital de campo que se constituiu em um conjunto de documentos digitais que armazenavam as observações emergentes no desenvolvimento do curso. Com os resultados obtidos foi possível verificar que a mediação on-line, aprendizagem e letramentos se constituem, de fato, como um único e complexo processo e que, por não ser considerado globalmente enquanto relações sistêmicas entre seus componentes, pode introduzir elementos de arritmia e levar à desistência/exclusão. Assim, a arritmia entre mediação, aprendizagem e letramentos surge como uma categoria de análise importante para se aferir a qualidade das práticas sociais de educação a distância

Pełny tekst źródła本研究主要探討以下問題:(1)大學生通過何種渠道在線獲取新聞;(2)大學生使用不同的媒體平台獲取新聞的情況如何;(3)在線新聞使用同傳統新聞媒體使用之間的關係如何;(4)計算機能力,互聯網自我效能感,在線和離線新聞使用,社交媒體使用,政治知識,政治效能,政治信任和政治參與等核心變量之間的關係; 以及(5)計算機能力,互聯網自我效能感,在線和離線新聞使用,社交媒體使用之於政治知識、政治感知和政治參與的相對重要性。
本研究採用定量的研究方法。研究的主體是對中國大陸在校大學本科及研究生進行問卷調查;調查前,焦點小組輔助研究結構建立與問卷設計。問卷調查採用多階層整群抽樣的方法,在北京抽取了兩所“elite工程“大學,在長春及杭州各抽取一所非“elite工程“大學的學生參與,樣本數量為624人。研究結果顯示,當中97.4% 的受訪者均使用互聯網獲取新聞。因子分析結果顯示,中國內地大學生主要經由三種信息渠道在線獲取新聞,分別是海外新聞渠道、社交媒體渠道,以及官方新聞渠道。不同信息渠道的使用者其政治常識、政治效能和政治信任亦有所區別。同時,本研究還發現傳統新聞同網絡新聞的使用之間存在互補的關係。
研究結果顯示,人口學變量超越社交媒體和在線新聞使用兩個變量對中國內地大學生的政治認知及政治知識的形成發揮最重要的作用。研究還發現社交媒體和在線新聞在促進線上和線下政治參與方面具有很大潛力。結論部分將詳述本研究的貢獻與實踐意義。
Citizen participation is a core element of a healthy democracy, and what facilitates citizens’ political activities has long been a central interest in political participation research. In the age of the Internet, especially with the appearance of social media, political participation is greatly facilitated by technology that makes information inexpensive, accessible, and interactive. Modern information technology, with its pluralism and fast speed, has made people optimistic about democracy. University students represent the Net generation and intellectuals in China; therefore, understanding how their social media use affects political knowledge, perception, and participation is valuable, to bring political change to China in the future.
Expanding the line of previous research, this study aims to address the question of the democratic implications of social media use and online news seeking from the vantage point of how individuals seek news online and how such use may be related to several key indications of individuals’ engagement in political life as citizens. Specifically, this study examines (a) the sources through which university students seek news online; (b) to what degree university students in China use different media platforms to seek news; (c) how online news seeking is related to its offline counterpart; (d) the relationships among computer competence, Internet efficacy, online and offline news seeking, social media use, political knowledge, political efficacy, political trust, and political participation; and (e) the relative influence of technological attributes, social media use, and online and offline news seeking on political attributes and political participation.
In this study, we used quantitative questionnaire surveys among university students. The questionnaire surveys were based on a stratified cluster sampling of two elite universities in Beijing and two ordinary universities in Changchun and Hangzhou. The final sample consisted of 624 university students, of whom 97.2% had used online news. Factor analysis identified three major sources of online news seeking among university students: official sources, overseas sources, and social media sources. Adopting these sources seems to affect students’ political knowledge, perception, and participation differently. Also, the supplement effect was found between online and offline news seeking.
Results also showed that demographics, rather than social media use and online news seeking, have the most power to predict political perception and knowledge among Chinese university students, and online news seeking and social media use have great potential in facilitating political engagement online and offline. How the social media use and online news seeking change the mode of state-society interactions and expands forms of political engagement are also discussed.

Pełny tekst źródłaAs redes sociais têm vindo a tornar-se um fenómeno de grande popularidade devido à sua utilização diária em todo o mundo. Revolucionaram tanto a forma como se utilizava a Internet, como as diferentes opções de comunicar e interagir, primeiramente, entre indivíduos e seguidamente entre marcas e os seus consumidores. Assim, e segundo Conrado (2012), o Marketing Digital, atualmente, está a passar por uma fase de consolidação, em que só as empresas e os profissionais que tenham um conceito sólido do que representa a Internet na atual economia e um domínio prático sobre as táticas deste novo mundo online, vão conseguir ter sucesso. Desta forma, é importante que as marcas/empresas percebam o que leva os consumidores a partilharem a sua opinião sobre novos produtos e/ou serviços nos seus perfis pessoais, ou seja, devem conhecer os utilizadores das diferentes ferramentas de social media e qual o seu papel ativo na construção da imagem de uma marca. É também fundamental conhecer, por um lado, qual o nível de influência que as diferentes redes sociais têm no consumidor e por outro lado, saber qual o papel influenciador de um utilizador, ao partilhar e opinar, na perceção que os outros têm da mesma marca. Por isso, uma das componentes fundamentais para uma boa gestão da rede social é conhecer o valor da marca e até que ponto o utilizador tem influência nesta construção e na opinião dos outros. Desta forma, o presente relatório teve como objetivo principal perceber a importância, necessidade e papel da utilização dos social media na Comunicação Empresarial, por parte das marcas/empresas, dando resposta a uma problemática que se evidenciou ao longo dos três meses em estágio na agência de comunicação, “qual a importância dos social media para a comunicação das empresas?”. Para obter uma resposta concreta, foi fundamental averiguar como é que as marcas avaliam os comportamentos de compra e pós-compra dos seus consumidores, o porquê de sentirem necessidade de comunicar com eles nas redes sociais (como é que esta utilização os ajuda a promover e, posteriormente, a vender), entre outros fatores.
Social networks have become a very popular phenomenon due to its daily use throughout the world. They have revolutionized not only the way the Internet is used, but also the different options to communicate and interact, first, between individuals but also between brands and their consumers. Thus, according to Conrado (2012), Digital Marketing currently is going through a consolidation phase, in which only the companies and professionals that have a solid concept of what Internet is in the current economy and have a practical domain of the tactics of this new online world will. Thus, it is important that brands/companies understand what drives consumers to share their opinion on new products and/or services in their personal profiles, i.e. must know about the users of the different tool in social media and what its active role in building the image of a brand is. However, it is important to know on the one hand, what level of influence different social networks have on the consumer, and on the other hand, the influential role of the user shares and comments on the perception that others have about the same brand. Therefore, a key component for the successful management of social networking is to know the brand value and the extent to which the user has influence in this construction and in the opinion of others. That being said, this report had as main objective perceiving the importance, necessity and role of the use of social media in Corporate Communication, by brands/companies, responding to a problem that was evident throughout the three-month internship at the communication agency: "How important is social media for corporate communication?". In order to respond, it was fundamental to determine how the brands evaluated the purchase and post-purchase behaviors of their consumers, why they need to communicate with them on social networks (how this usage helps promoting and, after, selling), among other factors.

Pełny tekst źródłaCom o desenvolvimento da internet, as redes sociais online apresentam-se como um novo meio de comunicação entre as organizações e os consumidores. Estas plataformas fomentaram ainda o aparecimento de um novo tipo de celebridade – os influencers. Com a constante partilha de conteúdos, surgiu assim uma nova forma de comunicação com os consumidores, pela associação das marcas a uma celebridade que as publicita nas suas redes sociais. O objetivo do presente estudo é compreender as perceções e opiniões dos consumidores perante publicações publicitárias online, nas redes sociais. Em particular, averiguar se existem diferenças na perceção e aceitação das marcas quando são publicadas por celebridades convencionais (por ex., atores, apresentadores, desportistas) ou por influencers (por ex. bloggers, instagrammers); e aferir ainda essas diferenças perante uma publicação sobre um produto/serviço ou uma campanha de sensibilização usando como base teórica o Persuasion Knowledge Model. Através de um estudo experimental com formato 2 (fonte de persuasão: atriz, blogger) x 2 (conteúdo publicitário: produto, campanha de sensibilização) para tentar medir essas diferenças. Os resultados permitiram concluir que os consumidores têm maior perceção da intenção persuasiva das publicações sobre produtos (do que campanhas) e consideram que nestes casos é mais legítimo que o autor seja recompensado pela sua publicação. Por outro lado, a campanha apresenta atitudes mais positivas, a moralidade da associação entre o autor e a organização é tida como superior, e o dever de informar que a publicação é publicidade considerado maior quando se trata de uma campanha de sensibilização. Este dever de informar o leitor é também considerado superior quando a publicação é feita por influencers, do que celebridades convencionais mas a legitimidade de ser recompensado é considerada superior para as celebridades convencionais.
With the development of the internet, online social networks have emerged as a new way of communication between organizations and their customers. These platforms have brought with them a new kind of celebrity – the so-called “influencers". The continuous sharing of content on social networks has also presented organizations with a new way of communicating with consumers; namely, by associating their brands with celebrities who them endorse them on their personal social network pipes. The purpose of this study is to understand the consumers’ perceptions and opinions with regard to social media posts containing advertising. In particular, we are interested to know whether there are differences in consumers’ perceptions and acceptance of posts when these are written by conventional celebrities (e.g.: actors, presenters, sportsmen, and so on) vs. influencers (e.g.: bloggers, instagrammers, and so on); and when the posts are about products vs. public service announcements. This is done in light of the Persuasion Knowledge Model, using a 2 (persuasion source: actress, blogger) x 2 (advertisement type: product, public service announcement) experimental design to examine these differences. The results show that consumers perceive greater persuasive intent and find it more legitimate that the author should be rewarded for a post it advertises a product (rather than a social issue). In contrast, consumer attitudes are more positive; the perceived morality of the association between the author and the advertisement type is superior; and the perceived duty to inform the readers that the post is an advert are all higher when a public service announcement is posted. The duty to inform the reader that a post is paid is also considered superior when the post is written by an influencer, but the legitimacy of such a reward is considered higher when the author is a conventional celebrity.

With the development of information technology, information technology led the world's rapidly society changing. The most basic function of human is “communication”. Internet technology is booming in the background and make a huge and efficient change. However, the rapid communication generated excessive information and resources, that spread in the social network. The information of the networks kept the value, should be properly stored, and can be at the right time to give the appropriate knowledge for right user. This study used the online social network with the concept. And through the virtual community to be present and confirmed the concept. Using social network analysis describes the complex patterns of online social networks. In the rich social resources, the social cognition of users and the functions of communication to produces a variety of social capital. The users of online social network can exchange information, knowledge, expertise and to renew the resources. Then meet the needs of the users. In this study use knowledge base system management the sources of online social networks. And created better knowledge sharing of social networks. In Web2.0 the open source software is popular, and this study combining with the “Discuz” and “facebook” platform build “facecus” knowledge platform. The research sample incloud facecus members and facebook groups total of 353 valid questionnaires, and through LISREL for structural equation analysis. in this study use the knowledge system success model to explore the social capital about the success of the system affect the nature of knowledge.

Pełny tekst źródłaIn today's fast paced world, people have become increasingly interested in online communication to facilitate their lives and make it faster. This goes on from simple social interactions to more advanced actions like shopping on the internet. The presence of such activities makes it crucial for people to use their common sense and judgment to process all this information and evaluate what/who they trust and what/whom they do not. This process would have been much easier if the number of people in such networks is really small and manageable. However, there are millions of users who are hooked online every day. This makes the person very overwhelmed with his trusting decision, especially when it comes to interacting with strangers over the internet, and/or buying personal items, especially expensive ones. Therefore, many trust models have been proposed by computer scientists trying to evaluate and manage the trust between users using different techniques and combining many factors. What these computer scientists basically do is coming up with mathematical formulas and models to express trust in online networks and capture its parameters. However, social scientists are the people better trained to deal with concepts related to human behaviors and their cognitive thinking such as trust. Thus, in order for computer scientists to support their ideas and get a better insight about how to direct their research, people like social scientists should contribute. With this in mind, we realized in our group work the importance of such contribution, so we came up with the idea of my research work. In my search, I tried to find how these social scientists think and tackle a dynamic notion like trust, so we can use their findings in order to enhance our work and trust model. Through the chapters, I will discuss an already developed trust model that uses measurement theory in modeling trust. I will refer back to this model and see how other social scientists dealt with some of the issues encountered by the model and its functionality. Some small experiments have been done to show and compare our results with social scientists results for the same matter. One of the most important and controversial points to be discussed from social scientists' point of view is whether trust is transitive or not. Other points to be discussed and supported by social scientists' research include aggregation, reputation, timing effects on trust, reciprocity, and experience effects on trust. Some of these points are classified into trust mapping categories and others are related to trust management or decision making stages. In sum, this work is a multidisciplinary study of trust whose overall goal is to enhance our work and results, as computer scientists.
