Trust mechanism on facilitator for E-partnerships
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a trust mechanism that is implemented with an agent facilitator, which is a typical mechanism for mediating agents in multi-agent systems. Although many facilitators are based on tracking the capabilities of each agent, they do not track the dynamic relationships between participants necessary for ecommerce, most especially that of trust. We propose to add a trust model to capability-based facilitators based on word of mouth, or "gossip", in which participants evaluate each other. The facilitator collects evaluations and propagates trust between participants who may not know each other. We propose a practical algorithm to realize our mechanism, currently implemented as a JATLite agent facilitator, and plan to test it in the area of construction supply chain coordination.
