Integrating trust measures in multiagent systems

چکیده
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 give to the reliability with respect to the reputation. However, RRAF shows some limitations, namely: (i) The weight to assign to the reliability vs reputation is arbitrarily set by the user, without considering the system evolution; (ii) The trust measure that an agent a perceives about an agent b is completely independent of the trust measure perceived by each other agent c, while in the reality the trust measures are mutually dependent. In this paper, we propose an extension of RRAF, aiming at facing the limitations above. In particular, we introduce a new trust reputation model, called TRR, that considers, from a mathematical viewpoint, the interdependence among all the trust measures computed in the systems. Moreover, this model dynamically computes a parameter measuring the importance of the reliability with respect to the reputation. Some experiments performed on the well-known ART platform show the significant advantages in terms of effectiveness introduced by TRR with respect to RRAF.

A Trust-based Mechanism for Avoiding Liars in Referring of Reputation in Multiagent System
Trust is considered as the crucial factor for agents in decision making to choose the most trustworthy partner during their interaction in open distributed multiagent systems. Most current trust models are the combination of experience trust and reference trust, in which the reference trust is estimated from the judgements of agents in the community about a given partner. These models are based...
متن کاملAnalyzing Control Trust in Normative Multiagent Systems
It has been argued that transaction trust is composed of party trust and control trust. In this paper we study control trust: trust in an institution that has set up a control mechanism. We present an account of control mechanisms using normative multiagent systems. Control mechanisms consist of constitutive norms which define evidential documents, and regulative norms which define violation co...
متن کاملDelegations and Trust
One of the fundamental notions in a multiagent system is that of delegation. Delegation forms the foundation for cooperation and collaboration among the members of a multiagent system. In diverse environments such as those formed by open multiagent systems, the various members constituting the environment are customarily alien to one another. Delegation decisions in such environments are necess...
