An integrated trust and reputation model for open multi-agent systems

FIRE: An Integrated Trust and Reputation Model for Open Multi-Agent Systems

Trust and reputation are central to effective interactions in open multi-agent systems in which agents, that are owned by a variety of stakeholders, can enter and leave the system at any time. This openness means existing trust and reputation models cannot readily be used. To this end, we present FIRE, a trust and reputation model that integrates a number of information sources to produce a com...

Trust and Reputation in Multi-Agent Systems

Trust and reputation are a key ingredient to most multi-agent systems, and as such, many different metrics have been proposed in academic literature. This paper describes 5 such metrics: those outlined by Marsh, Sen et al., as well as SPORAS, that used in eBay, and certified reputation. An evaluation of the field as a whole is then provided, which outlines just how important trust and reputatio...

Trust and Reputation Mechanisms for Multi-agent Robotic Systems

Computational trust and reputation models for open multi-agent systems: a review

In open environments, agents depend on reputation and trust mechanisms to evaluate the behavior of potential partners. The scientific research in this field has considerably increased, and in fact, reputation and trust mechanisms have been already considered a key elements in the design of multi-agent systems. In this paper we provide a survey that, far from being exhaustive, intends to show th...
