نویسندگان
چکیده
Trust and reputation have been proposed in the Multiagent Systems area as a way to assist agents to select good partners in order to improve interactions between them. As well as trust, agent emotions have been studied with the aim of making the actions and reactions of the agents more like those of humans. In this paper, we present a trust model based on emotions. It is a hybrid mathematical and symbolical model designed to capture the complexity of reasoning. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations are combined through the incorporation of some emotional elements in the trust evaluation.
