The logic of trust
نویسنده
چکیده
This thesis addresses two problems of trust: 1. Knowledge on Trust: If we are provided with information by a variety of individuals, whom we trust to different degrees, what is the best overall theory we can form from the information we are given? 2. Social Trust: If one does not have direct experience of an individual, how can one establish an initial degree of trust through the offices of society? It addresses the first problem by developing a formal, mathematical and computational, model of Bonjour’s Coherence Theory of Knowledge, and the second by adapting abstract argumentation theory to reason about networks of relationships of trust and distrust between individuals. In developing the latter it develops a notion of generalised argumentation systems, giving their semantics via the Galois Connections induced by binary relations, and provides a general scheme of evaluation of these systems based on propositional model finding. Throughout, some effort is made to set the work in the context of both theories of trust and of the day-to-day trust situations that one encounters in everyday life.

Trust Classification in Social Networks Using Combined Machine Learning Algorithms and Fuzzy Logic
Social networks have become the main infrastructure of today’s daily activities of people during the last decade. In these networks, users interact with each other, share their interests on resources and present their opinions about these resources or spread their information. Since each user has a limited knowledge of other users and most of them are anonymous, the trust factor plays an import...
متن کاملTrust and Commitment in Dynamic Logic
Trust and commitment have been identified as crucial concepts in electronic commerce applications. In this paper we are interested in the relation between these social concepts. We introduce a dynamic logic in which violations of stronger commitments result in a higher loss of trustworthiness than violations of weaker ones. We illustrate how the logic can be used to analyze some aspects of a we...
متن کاملFuzzy Trust for Peer-to-Peer Based Systems
Trust management is one of the drawbacks in Peer-toPeer (P2P) system. Lack of centralized control makes it difficult to control the behavior of the peers. Reputation system is one approach to provide trust assessment in P2P system. In this paper, we use fuzzy logic to model trust in a P2P environment. Our trust model combines first-hand (direct experience) and second-hand (reputation) informati...
متن کاملA Trust Model using Fuzzy Logic in Wireless Sensor Network
Adapting various sensor devices to communicate within sensor networks empowers us by providing range of possibilities. The sensors in sensor networks need to know their measurable belief of trust for efficient and safe communication. In this paper, we suggested a trust model using fuzzy logic in sensor network. Trust is an aggregation of consensus given a set of past interaction among sensors. ...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Reputation-based Trust Management Scheme for Cloud Computing
Cloud computing requires that customers trust that a service provider’s platforms are secured and provide a sufficient level of integrity for the client’s data. However, a lack of trust between cloud customers and providers has hindered the universal acceptance of clouds as an increasingly popular approach for the processing of large data sets and computationally expensive programs. Existing te...
متن کاملA logic of trust and reputation
The aim of this paper is to present a logical framework in which the concepts of trust and reputation can be formally characterized and their properties studied. We start from the definition of trust proposed by Castelfranchi & Falcone (C&F). We formalize this definition in a logic of time, action, beliefs and choices. Then, we provide a refinement of C&F’s definition by distinguishing two gene...
