The widespread use of the Internet signals the need for a better understanding of trust as a basis for secure on-line interaction. In this paper we provide and discuss existing works on trust management models in the area of Multi Agent Systems and highlight the shortcomings. Our proposed model is not presented as the final solution to the issue. This new model will have a mechanism that allows...

Establishing trust amongst agents is of central importance to the development of well-functioning multi-agent systems. For example, the anonymity of transactions on the Internet can lead to inefficiencies; e.g., a seller on eBay failing to ship a good as promised, or a user free-riding on a file-sharing network. Trust (or reputation) mechanisms can help by aggregating and sharing trust informat...

A large literature has documented the positive effect of pre-play communication on cooperation, trust, and trustworthiness. However, previous contributions focus on unrealistic settings in which senders are forced to choose their actions immediately after communicating with recipients. Using a hybrid lab and online experiment this paper provides the first evidence for the persistent power of co...

The emphasis of this research was on the effect of human trust in a hybrid inspection system with varying error patterns. Experiments were conducted using a hybrid inspection task involving four common types of error patterns, and subjects were requested to rate their trust in the system at different stages. Results showed that subjects’ ratings of trust were based on how they perceived the beh...

short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . these results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

the purpose of the present study is to investigate effective factors in making people willing to repurchase sports match tickets online with the approach of extending technology acceptance model. this research is considered applied regarding its purpose, descriptive- survey regarding its method, and is based on structural equation model (sem). the participants are iran's national volleybal...

The urgent and indispensable requirement for secure efficient remote work compels organizations to reconsider their approach safeguarding themselves against cyber threats. shift toward amplifies the need redirect more network traffic cloud-based applications rather than relying solely on internal network. growing adoption of hybrid model necessitates system administrators increasingly provide a...

The proliferation of Geo-Information (GI) production in web-based collaboration environments such as mapping mashups built on top of mapping APIs such as GoogleMaps API poses new challenges to GI Science. In this environment, millions of users are not only consumers of GI but they are also producers. A major challenge is how to manage this huge flow of information and identify high value contri...

In a fast and dynamic competitive environment it is not easy to survive and maintain a credit in market. It can be possible when user/customer trust on product quality and its performance. This can be possible when process is well defined because quality of product directly related to the quality of process. To develop a mature and effective process lot of resources is required, every organizat...

It has been recognized that a framework based on proofcarrying code (also called semantic-based software certification in its community) could be used as a candidate software certification process for the avionics industry. To meet this goal, tools in the “trust base” of a proof-carrying code system must be qualified by regulatory authorities. A family of semantic-based software certification a...
