Applying current existing trust models or trust management systems on mobile computing environments require extracting user’s trust standards in different contexts, user’s experience or feedback dissemination and user’s decision about trust or distrust. However mobility, uncertainty and heterogeneity of mobile computing environments make trust management much more complicated, so they are inade...

Trust is emerging as a key element of success in the on-line environment. Although considerable research on trust in the offline world has been performed, to date empirical study of on-line trust has been limited. This paper examines on-line trust, specifically trust between people and informational or transactional websites. It begins by analysing the definitions of trust in previous offline a...

This paper proposes a model addressing the rebuilding of post-violation trust in B2C electronic commerce. The model uses expectation-confirmation theory and provides empirical verification for the factors affecting post-violation trust rebuilding and the association between them. The factors are perceived trustworthiness, confirmation by trust restoration, satisfaction and continuance trust int...

This study developed a research model based on the tricomponent attitude� model and explored factors influencing e-shoppers’ real purchase behaviors. This study showed that these determinants could be divided into positive and negative approaches. The research sample consisted of 385 valid respondents who are experienced users on Books.com.tw. This research study adopted the structural equation...

Its increase and decrease will influence on the primary groups and institutions to the entire society. Social trust is influenced by various factors and variables. The change in these factors will change the ex...

In this paper, we continue our line of research for defining an integrated framework for the specification and analysis of security and trust, aimed at providing the basis for the modeling and analysis of security and trust aspects of emergent dynamic coalitions (e.g., mobile ad hoc networks, peer to peer systems, web services). In particular, we consider two well-known languages: 1) the Role-b...

In this paper, a fuzzy expert system-based Knowledge Sharing Trust Level(KSTL) measurement adoption model is presented. The KSTL was modeled using four input variables, developed from Technology Acceptance Model constructs namely; Perceived Trust Towards Competence, Perceived Trust Towards Benevolence, Perceived Trust Barrier for Sharing, External Cue Towards Trust to determine KSTL. A KSTL-fuz...

Abstract— Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . Since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . Therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . This paper investigates the use of genetic ...

Trust models as thus far described in the literature can be seen as a monolithic structure: a trust model is provided with a variety of inputs and the model performs calculations, resulting in a trust evaluation as output. The agent has no direct method of adapting its trust model to its needs in a given context. In this article, we propose a first step in allowing an agent to reason about its ...
