چکیده

Multi-agent systems (MAS) are complex software systems. Usually, this kind of software is situated in a constantly changing environment. In such conditions, the capability of adapting to the environment and to the rest of agents is crucial for each individual in the society. In this paper, we make a proposal to reach adaptiveness in MAS through using the notions of trust and reputation. We present the formal model and empirical evidence of its effectiveness.

Neural trust model for multi-agent systems

Introducing trust and reputation into multi-agent systems can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of the systems. The computational trust and reputation also creates an environment of survival of the fittest to help agents recognize and eliminate malevolent agents in the virtual society. The thesis redefines the computational trust and analyzes its features from different aspects. ...

Multi-contextual Trust Model for Multi-Agent Systems

This paper deals with trust modelling for distributed systems especially to multi-context trust modelling for multiagent distributed systems. There exists many trust and reputation models but most of them do not dealt with the multi-context property of trust or reputation. Therefore, the main focus of this thesis is on analysis of multicontext trust based models and provides main assumptions fo...

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...

On the Simulation of Global Reputation Systems

Reputation systems evolve as a mechanism to build trust in virtual communities. In this paper we evaluate different metrics for computing reputation in multi-agent systems. We present a formal model for describing metrics in reputation systems and show how different well-known global reputation metrics are expressed by it. Based on the model a generic simulation framework for reputation metrics...

Adaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems

This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
