| Description | In our evolving society, a future is envisioned where humans and digital systems converge to shape dynamic and unpredictable ecosystems constantly adapting to ever-changing conditions. Such smart dynamic ecosystems, which seamlessly merge digital agents, physical infrastructure, and human-technology interactions, need to enable the formation of partnerships between their members to collectively solve complex tasks. This necessitates the establishment of trust together with effective governance mechanisms on the ecosystem level, which emerge as crucial elements to ensure the proper functioning, safety, and adherence to established rules. However, there is currently very little understanding of what such trust-supporting governance mechanisms could look like. In this paper, we open this promising scientific field with compiling a taxonomy of governance mechanisms aimed at supporting trust management in smart dynamic ecosystems. By this, we take an initial step into the development of a comprehensive governance model and stimulate further research to address this critical aspect of managing the complex and dynamic nature of these ecosystems. |
