Dealing with trust and distrust in agents societies
نویسنده
چکیده
Agents in Multi-Agent Systems depend on interactions with others to achieve their goals. Often, goals of agents conflict with each other, and agents can be unreliable or deceitful. Therefore, trust and reputation are key issues in this domain. As in human societies, software agents must interact with other agents in settings where there is the possibility that they can be exploited. This suggests the need for computational models of trust and reputation that can be used by software agents, therefore much research has investigated this issue over the past decade [1, 13, 4, 10, 15, 16, 8, 14]. This thesis concentrates on two important questions, therefore it is divided in two parts. The first question is what sources agents can use to build their trust of others upon. The second question is how agents can use trust and reputation concepts to form stable coalitions.

Trust is an essential component of transactions that occur over time.

متن کاملDistrust is not Always the Complement of Trust (Position Paper)
We believe that distrust can be as important as trust when agents are making a decision. An agent may not trust a source because of lack of positive evidence, but this does not necessarily mean the agent distrusts the source. Trust and distrust have to be considered as two separate concepts which can coexist. We are aware that an adequate way to take this fact into account is by considering exp...
