Talk:DistOS-2011W Observability & Contracts
Observability
- How do we define 'public' action? How do we monitor 'public' action without monitoring every action?
- How can you make sure your agent is acting according to your instructions?
- How can we ensure that information we receive through a third-party is legitimate?
Contracts
- What can or can't be contracted?
- How can you quantify abstract resources?
- How can two or more parties agree with a minimum of intervention?
Some forms of contracts exist in the form of Service Level Agreements, and there have been efforts made to automate this process.
