Various supplier networks consist of many different types of interorganizational relationships. The coordination and evaluation of these kinds of networks is becoming more challenging as the importance and relative power of a single supplier increases due to the centralization of purchases. The main objective of this study is to measure mutual interorganizational trust in the supplier relations...

For some people with bipolar disorder, excessive self-trust in the manic phase conflicts with trusting themselves over time, and radical shifts in mood and activity can undermine their trustworthiness. Difficulties in trust interface with the ability to construct a narrative. Although the narrative self may be (for anyone) fragmented and disjointed, it can nevertheless provide an unfolding rati...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of (4/3) bandwidth interval based forecasting. The historical enrollments of the university of Alabama are used to illustrate the proposed method. In this paper we use the new simplified technique to find the fuzzy logical relations.

We believe that the critical aspect in providing security for pervasive environments is building security and trust relations between devices without requiring the users to be experts. In this tech-note we present two complementary mechanisms to bootstrap security relations between networked devices: the ownership model and a security policy definition language. The ownership model assures secu...

Trust should be substantially based on evidences including historical behaviors and recommendations in p2p. But experiments show that nodes usually just focus on the services they are interested in. For others they may ignore or feedback at will. So in most cases the system suffers a lot from dishonest feedbacks and strategically cheating behaviors of malicious nodes. Paper proposes a new trust...
