The major challenge faced by wireless sensor networks is security. Because of dynamic and collaborative nature of sensor networks the connected sensor devices makes the network unusable. To solve this issue, a trust model is required to find malicious, selfish and compromised insiders by evaluating trust worthiness sensors from the network. It supports the decision making processes in wireless ...

Enhancing trust and improving shared decision making are thought to have positive health outcomes. Older patients are sometimes reported as being less frequently involved in decisions about their health care...

With the gradually opening up of the network environment, trust mechanisms for information security are increasingly becoming an important prerequisite and foundation. Fuzziness and uncertainty are two basic features of trust. The qualitative and quantitative transform model--Cloud model is applied to the trust evaluation, and a Cloud-Based Weighted Trust Model (CBWT Model) is proposed, includi...

Context This viewpoint discusses some theoretical and practical issues which deserve consideration in the drive to build a culture of children and young people’s involvement in decision-making, when staff work in partnership with others across traditional professional and organisational boundaries. Some of these issues have arisen through the first author’s practice as a participation manager i...

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...
