Computing Confidence Values: Does Trust Dynamics Matter?

چکیده
Computational Trust and Reputation (CTR) systems are platforms capable of collecting trust information about candidate partners and of computing confidence scores for each one of these partners. These systems start to be viewed as vital elements in environments of electronic institutions, as they support fundamental decision making processes, such as the selection of business partners and the automatic and adaptive creation of contractual terms and associated enforcement methodologies. In this article, we propose a model for the aggregation of trust evidences that computes confidence scores taking into account dynamic properties of trust. We compare our model with a traditional statistical model that uses weighted means to compute trust, and show experimental results that show that in certain scenarios the consideration of the trust dynamics allows for a better estimation of confidence scores.

A confidence-aware interval-based trust model
It is a common and useful task in a web of trust to evaluate the trust value between two nodes using intermediate nodes. This technique is widely used when the source node has no experience of direct interaction with the target node, or the direct trust is not reliable enough by itself. If trust is used to support decision-making, it is important to have not only an accurate estimate of trust, ...

Today, the trust has turned into one of the most beneficial solutions to improve recommender systems, especially in the collaborative filtering method. However, trust statements suffer from a number of shortcomings, including the trust statements sparsity, users' inability to express explicit trust for other users in most of the existing applications, etc. Thus to overcome these problems, this ...

The notion of confidence policy is a novel notion that exploits trustworthi-ness of data items in data management and query processing. In this paper we address the problem of enforcing confidence policies in data stream management systems (DSMSs), which is crucial in supporting users with different access rights, processing confidence-aware continuous queries, and protecting the secure streami...

The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...

The growing complexity of current computer systems requires a high amount of administration, which poses an increasingly challenging task for manual administration. The Autonomic and Organic Computing Initiatives have introduced so called self-x properties, including self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing, and self-protection, to allow administration to become autonomous. Although ...
