In this paper, Access Aware Routing Protocol (AARP) towards Trust Management problem for Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is proposed. In MANET, nodes periodically move over the terrain space with transmission range. In this research work a scheme to handle trust establishment and aggregation issues are proposed. Unlike trust management in previous schemes, trust management in MANET involves neigh...

The computational trust paradigm supposes that it is possible to quantify trust relations that occur within some software systems. The paradigm covers a variety of trust systems, such as trust management systems, reputation systems and trust-based security systems. Different trust systems have different assumptions, and various trust models have been developed on top of these assumptions Typica...

A network of people having established trust relations and a model for propagation of related trust scores are fundamental building blocks in many of todays most successful e-commerce and recommendation systems. However, the web of trust is often too sparse to predict trust values between non-familiar people with high accuracy. Trust inferences are transitive associations among users in the con...

Abstract Trust between actors is vital to delivering positive health outcomes, while relationships of power determine agendas, whose voices are heard and who benefits from global initiatives. However, the relationship trust has been neglected in literatures on both international politics health. We examine this through a study relations faith based organisations (FBO) donors Malawi Zambia, draw...

Trust is understood in terms of a) acceptance of dependency in b) the absence of information about the other’s reliability in order to c) create an outcome otherwise unavailable. The first of these is the cost of trust; the second, the situation of uncertainty it faces and may overcome; the third, its purchase. This account permits: distinction between trust and similar relations with which it ...

Social networks in which users or agents are connected to other agents and sources by trust relations are an important part of many web applications where information may come from multiple sources. Trust recommendations derived from these social networks are supposed to help agents develop their own opinions about how much they may trust other agents and sources. Despite the recent development...

Web-based environments typically span interactions between humans and software services. The management and automatic calculation of trust are among the key challenges of the future service-oriented Web. Trust management systems in large-scale systems, for example, social networks or service-oriented environments determine trust between actors by either collecting manual feedback ratings or by ...

Trust is a central concept in the philosophy of science. We highlight how trust is important in the wide variety of interactions between science and society. We claim that examining and clarifying the nature and role of trust (and distrust) in relations between science and society is one principal way in which the philosophy of science is socially relevant. We argue that philosophers of science...
