TRR: An integrated Reliability-Reputation Model for Agent Societies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several reliability-reputation models to support agents’ decisions have been proposed in the past and many of them combine together reliability and reputation in a synthetic trust measure. In this context, we present a new trust model, called TRR, that considers, from a mathematical viewpoint, the interdependence between these two trust measures. This important feature of TRR is exploited to dynamically compute a parameter determining the importance of the reliability with respect to the reputation. Some experiments performed on the well-known ART platform show the advantages, in terms of effectiveness, introduced by the TRR approach.

Integrating trust measures in multiagent systems
Several models have been proposed in the past for representing both reliability and reputation. However, we remark that a crucial point in the practical use of these two measures is represented by the possibility of suitably combining them to support the agent’s decision. In the past, we proposed a reliability-reputation model, called RRAF, that allows the user to choose how much importance to ...

متن کاملReputation Model with Forgiveness Factor for Semi-competitive E-Business Agent Societies
In this paper we introduce a new reputation model for agents engaged in e-business transactions. Our model enhances classic reputation models by adding forgiveness factor and new sources of reputation information based on agents groups. The model was implemented using JADE multi-agent platform and initially evaluated for e-business scenarios comprising societies of buyer and
متن کاملTowards a Trust, Reputation and Recommendation Meta Model
New Trust, Reputation and Recommendation (TRR) models are continuously proposed. However, the existing models lack shared bases and goals. For this reason, in this work we define an innovative meta model to facilitate the definition and standardization of a generic TRR model. Following the meta model, researchers in the field will be able to define standard models, compare them with other model...
