01. Challenges in trust (2004)
This paper clarifies the notion of socio-technical evolution through interaction and drafts the research proposal to identify on that basis core technologies that will shape the future. Not surprising, trust-related technologies are the most important ones. While none of those plans ever materialised, the paper articulates some of the thoughts that drove my later research. Abstract.

02. Trusting Technologies Position Paper (2004)
This position paper of my group in now-defunct Media Lab Europe in Dublin, Ireland. The paper provides detailed explanation of goals and projects that has been planned to be carried by the group. Unfortunately, those plans never fully materialised. Abstract.

03. Trusting Totalitarian Technologies (2004)
This presentation uses an example of RF tags technology to discuss how technologies usually associated with totalitarian approach may become trusted. Quite challenging, but such thing is possible. Abstract.

04. Applicability of Digital Trust (2004)
This paper discusses the validity of applying the construct of human trust to digital systems. By exploring requirements that support such concept the paper defines the class of digital systems that may actually benefit from trust-based approach. Abstract.

05. Reading Weak Signals (2004)
In this intriguing paper I am looking at the possiblity to evaluate human trustworthiness on the basis of purely technical information (weak signals) delivered over digital comunication means - without the need of any additonal human support. Abstract.

06. Phenomenon of a Borderline Trust (2004)
Another position paper, identifying the most promising research area for my group in Media Lab Europe. I proposed exploring the borderline between human and digital perception of trust. This very systematic 'dual' approach generated several interesting areas for potential research. Abstract.

07. A Mechanism for Trust Sustainability among Trusted Computing Platforms (2004)
Joint paper that discusses how trust (or at least the confidence in platform integrity) can be not only created but also maintained with the help of hardware-based trusted computing platform. The paper has been presented on the TrustBus2005 conference. Abstract.
