The Beta Reputation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reputation systems can be used to foster good behaviour and to encourage adherence to contracts in e-commerce. Several reputation systems have been deployed in practical applications or proposed in the literature. This paper describes a new system called the beta reputation system which is based on using beta probability density functions to combine feedback and derive reputation ratings. The advantage of the beta reputation system is flexibility and simplicity as well as its foundation on the theory of statistics.

Computational trust and reputation models are used to aid the decisionmaking process in complex dynamic environments, where we are unable to obtain perfect information about the interaction partners. In this paper we present a comparison of our proposed hidden Markov trust model to the Beta reputation system. The hidden Markov trust model takes the time between observations into account, it als...

Studies show that reputation systems have the potential to improve market quality. In this paper we report the results of simulating a market of trading agents that uses the beta reputation system for collecting feedback and computing agents’ reputations. The simulation confirms the hypothesis that the presence of the reputation system improves the quality of the market. Among other things it a...
