the increasing reliance on information gathered from the web and other internet technologies raise the issue of trust. through the development of semantic web, one major difficulty is that, by its very nature, the semantic web is a large, uncensored system to which anyone may contribute. this raises the question of how much credence to give each resource. each user knows the trustworthiness of ...

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, ...

The power of the Web is enhanced through the network effect produced as resources link to each other with the value determined by Metcalfe’s aw. In Web 2.0 applications, much of that effect is delivered through social linkages realized via social networks online. Unfortunately, the ssociated semantics for Web 2.0 applications, delivered through tagging, is generally minimally hierarchical and s...

One type of incentive is clearly intrinsic; it originates within a person and is often linked to exploratory behavior, hedonic pleasure from self-determined mastery, and desire to satisfy curiosity for its own sake (1). Another type of incentive is ...

This paper proposes a hybrid optimization method for optimal allocation of wind turbines (WTs) that combines genetic algorithm (GA) and market-based optimal power flow (OPF). The method jointly maximizes net present value (NPV) related to WTs investment made by WTs’ developers and social welfare (SW) considering different combinations of wind generation and load demand over a year. The GA is va...
