چکیده
In open environments in which autonomous agents can break contracts, computational models of trust have an important role to play in determining who to interact with and how interactions unfold. To this end, we develop such a trust model, based on confidence and reputation, and show how it can be concretely applied, using fuzzy sets, to guide agents in evaluating past interactions and in establishing new contracts with one another.

Devising A Trust Model For Multi-Agent Interactions Using Confidence And Reputation
In open environments in which autonomous agents can break contracts, computational models of trust have an important role to play in determining who to interact with and how interactions unfold.

متن کاملCertainty, trust and evidence: Towards an integrative model of confidence in multi-agent systems
Introducing confidence in multi-agent systems gives agents a form of control in making decisions and helps to improve the decision making process in such systems. Consequently, modeling confidence of agents is important in heterogeneous agent communities. The inability to detect an agent’s confidence can be a reason for inaccurate decision. Several weaknesses have been found in current trust an...
متن کاملBelief Revision Process Based on Trust: Agents Evaluating Reputation of Information Sources
In this paper, we propose a multi-agent belief revision algorithm that utilizes knowledge about reliability or trustworthiness (reputation) of information sources. Incorporating reliability information into belief revision mechanisms is essential for agents in real world multi-agent systems. This research assumes the global truth is not available to individual agents and agents only maintain a ...
متن کاملTrust Decision-Making in Multi-Agent Systems
Trust is crucial in dynamic multi-agent systems, where agents may frequently join and leave, and the structure of the society may often change. In these environments, it may be difficult for agents to form stable trust relationships necessary for confident interactions. Societies may break down when trust between agents is too low to motivate interactions. In such settings, agents should make d...
متن کاملAn Argumentation-based Computational Model of Trust for Negotiation
The fact that open multiagent systems are vulnerable with respect to malicious agents poses a great challenge: the detection and the prevention of undesirable behaviours. That is the reason why techniques such as trust and reputation mechanisms have been proposed. In this paper, we explore the cognitive science background which captures the notions of trust, reputation and confidence to provide...
