Exploiting autonomy in a User-IoT system collaborative trust model

Abstract

Smart devices have a significant presence in our life. Humans and artificial entities are continuously interfacing across a variety of scenarios such as smart transportation, smart healthcare, smart grid, smart city, etc. Nevertheless, there are still different critical points to be faced. Among the many, given the ever-growing potential for action, a major issue concerns the autonomy of these devices. We propose a possible solution on how IoT devices may act to get more autonomy, in relation to the specific user they interface with. Thus, we considered a possible implementation in a simulation context, showing how the proposed approach works.
