Future of trust and reputation systems, w.48

What we have done

Personas and scenarios

With the help of our created personas and scenarios we as a group have now finalized our vision of the future. We have started to use our prepared personas and scenarios from last week to create our infomercial which will be used in the final presentation to explain and visualize our vision to the audience.

Presentation

In order to progress with the preparations for the presentation a lot of focus is on creating the infomercial of “Identity Bank” which is our vision for the future. We have a clear united vision for an animated infomercial and a clear purpose for it. Instead of attempting to explain the concept around “Identity Bank” ourselves in the presentation we will instead use the infomercial. We have written a brief script for the infomercial that we are going to base it on and propose our ideas and visions through. We have also gathered some relevant images for possible use as well as thought through color schemes and fonts to use.
Interview

Since last week we have not performed any more interviews. Instead we have focused on making sure that all the interviews that we have done is being evaluated and analyzed in order to see what we can use in the final text, presentation or not at all. The part of the project focusing on information gathering is behind us, in this part of the project focus is solely on finishing the text and preparing the presentation.

Book Report

The two people that are responsible for the book report have been working on explaining the terms reputation, identity and their relationship with trust. Additionally they have written the introduction and the description of the future scenario. They have also worked with the offload trends to be send to Malin and Daniel. At the group meeting, the features, services and interface of our cross-referencing system have been decided by the whole team, giving thus valuable insight on what needs to be added in this part of the text.

What we will do

Focus now is of course on finishing the text for the book. There is less time for anything else but since we have decided on creating an infomercial also that part of the project is in focus. Creating something of a movie, no matter how short will always take time and we want to make sure that the infomercial will be finished since we find it crucial to in the best way possible describe our vision of the future.

Next week we will thus have to divide our group in order to work more efficiently on both the video and the text for the book, but at the same time try to work together. Some of us will have to focus on developing and creating the final video and the rest will have to finalize the text.

Challenges encountered

The largest challenge encountered in the project have truly being defining the actual final result. It’s hard to create a united vision of the future of trust and reputation systems since there is so many aspects which will influence it along the way. We as a group have used a lot of different brainstorming methods in order to find a united vision and we now are certain that the vision chosen represents the vision of the entire group.

Changes in the project

There have not been any changes in the project. We have rather made an attempt to specify the end result of the project.
