Component A - Trustworthiness Monitoring & Assessment Framework
The TMA_Analyze component is responsible for continuously listening to the TMA_Knowledge repository, calculate the trustworthiness scores and, if such scores fall below a threshold, the TMA_Plan microservice is activated. Furthermore, it provides a dashboard to the user, which allows him to analyse information at runtime and adjust the parameters of the quality models and thresholds used.
General TMA_Analyze architecture:
TMA_Analyze is basically composed by four major components:
- KnowledgeService: data access layer for reading and writing at the
TMA_Knowledgerepository, any relevant information for monitoring and acting upon trustworthiness scores. - KnowledgeListener: observes the
TMA_Knowedgecontinuously to detect relevant changes in the Athmosphere platform trustworthiness-related data. - QualityModel: implements quality models for calculating the trustworthiness levels/scores.
- Dashboard: graphical user interface to present trustworthiness indicator, update user preferences, and intervene to adjust trustworthiness levels.
Dashboard-QualityModel and QualityModel-KnowledgeListener communication works as an observer design pattern. The behavior is depicted into the following sequence diagrams for the startup and notification scenarios.
