The article describes how and why we failed to replicate main effects of a computational model that Michael Macy and Yoshimichi Sato published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (May 2002). The model is meant to answer a fundamental question about social life: Why, when and how is it possible to build trust with distant people? Based on their model, Macy and Sato warn the US...

Among the several categories of trust models, cognitive models have important features. Initially these models were only informally defined, but formalizations were recently proposed. The concepts of the models are thus sufficiently well defined to be implemented and evaluated. In this paper, the cognitive trust model proposed by Castelfranchi and Falcone is integrated into a BDI (belief, desir...

Computational models of trust have been proposed for use in ubiquitous computing environments to decide whether to provide services to requesters which are either unfamiliar with service providers or do not have enough access rights to certain services. Due to the highly dynamic and unpredictable characteristic of ubiquitous environments, the trust model should make trust decision dynamically. ...

Multi agent systems are made up of multiple interacting intelligent agents computational entities to some degree autonomous and able to cooperate, compete, communicate, act flexibly, and exercise control over their behavior within the frame of their objectives. Trust is important in Multi Agent System for an agent, using which agents can communicate with each other. In this paper, we present a ...

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...

We argue briefly for the role of computational trust in ubiquitous computing, and in particular for the need of a formal foundation for computational trust. We provide two examples towards such a foundation: a formal foundation for a some probabilistic approaches from the literature, and a formal framework for comparing probabilistic

In this work we want to provide a tool for handling information coming from different information sources. In fact the real world we often have to deal with different sources asserting different things and, in order to decide, it is necessary to consider properly each of them trying to put this information together. According to us, a good way to do it is exploiting the concept of trust. In fac...

customers extend robust trust to a business when they believe the business puts their interests first. good experience of banking services and recommendations of other customers can increase trust. loyalty and word of mouth (wom) is accepted as key factors successes of marketing. this paper seeks to discover the affecting factors on positive word of mouth and loyalty based on trust enhancement ...
