Promise theory : ウィキペディア英語版 | Promise theory Promise Theory, in the context of information science, is a model of voluntary cooperation between individual, autonomous actors or agents who publish their intentions to one another in the form of promises. A promise is a declaration of intent whose purpose is to increase the recipient's certainty about a claim of past, present or future behaviour.〔(M. Burgess, An Approach to Understanding Policy Based on Autonomy and Voluntary Cooperation )〕 For a promise to increase certainty, the recipient needs to trust the promiser, but trust can also be built on the verification that previous promises have been kept, thus trust plays a symbiotic relationship with promises. Each agent assesses its belief in the promise's outcome or intent. Thus Promise Theory is about the relativity of autonomous agents. One of the goals of Promise Theory is to offer a model that unifies the physical (or dynamical) description of an information system with its intended meaning, i.e. its semantics. This has been used to describe Configuration Management of resources in information systems, amongst other things. == History ==
Promise Theory was proposed by Mark Burgess in 2004, in the context of computer science, in order to solve problems present in obligation-based computer management schemes for policy-based management.〔(M. Burgess, An Approach to Understanding Policy Based on Autonomy and Voluntary Cooperation )〕 However its usefulness was quickly seen to go far beyond computing. The simple model of a promise used in Promise Theory (now called 'micro-promises') can easily address matters of Economics and Organization. Promise Theory has since been developed by Burgess in collaboration with Jan Bergstra, resulting in a book: Promise Theory: Principles and Applications.〔(Promise Theory: Principles and Applications )〕 published in 2013.
