The Grid approach provides the ability to access, utilize, and manage a variety of heterogeneous resources in virtual organizations across multiple domains and institutions. Selecting appropriate resources within such a distributed Grid environment to satisfy quality of service requirements is a complex and difficult task. This paper proposes a reputation management framework for Grids to facil...

We discuss and explore the concept of cross-community reputation between multiple communities. Sharing reputation between communities has several advantages in a world where users are members of several virtual communities and where reputation gained in one community may be a useful asset for other communities. The problems and policies regarding sharing reputation are discussed in this paper.

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), tasks are conducted based on the cooperation of nodes in the networks. However, since the nodes are usually constrained by limited computation resources, selfish nodes may refuse to be cooperative. Reputation system is one of the main solutions to the node non-cooperation problem. A reputation system evaluates node behaviours by reputation values and uses a r...

Our reputation is important to us; we've experienced natural selection to care about our reputation. Recently, the neural processing of gains in reputation (positive social feedback concerning one's character) has been shown to occur in the human ventral striatum. It is still unclear, however, how individual differences in the processing of gains in reputation may lead to individual differences...

Personal reputation has been argued to demonstrate important influences on work outcomes. However, substantive research on personal reputation is relatively scarce. This two-study investigation empirically supports and extends existing theory regarding the temporal development of personal reputation (i.e., antecedents and consequences), and thus contributes to a more informed understanding of b...
