My Ph.D thesis, entitled "Trusted Content-Based Publish/Subscribe Trees", examined the use of trust to construct trusted publish/subscribe trees (PSTs) to disseminate events from publishers to subscribers. By creating the PSTs that are trusted by both publishers and subscribers, the vulnerability to malicious and selfish routers is greatly reduced. A copy of my PhD thesis can be downloaded from here.
I have co-authored a number of research papers on the use of trust in highly social computing applications and on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network simulators. For more information regarding these publications, please visit the publications page of this site or Google Scholar.
