Trust-Oriented Multi-visualization of Cooperation Context

The building construction activity is uncertain by nature because of its specificities (e.g. heterogeneous stakeholders, ephemeral teams, etc.) and particularly, because it corresponds to a particular mode of production "on site" and is submitted to variable conditions. So the construction management is essential to guarantee the correct progression of the construction activity. Moreover, trust is a central component in this type of activity to surmount the uncertainty. Therefore, we suggest making a connection between the coordination assistance tool and the notion of trust. This paper suggests representing trust in the correct progression of the activity in order to support the construction management and using this representation to guide user navigation in a multi-visualization environment. It will describe a methodology to identify trust information in a construction activity context, measure trust value and implement a trust-based prototype.
