Multi-agent systems are open, anonymous and dynamic in nature. Trust and reputation models fail to properly evaluate the trust of an agent if malicious agents behave in an unpredictable way. These models are ineffective in providing quick response to malicious agent’s oscillating behavior and critical for sustaining good service quality .The dynamic trust computation model called Secured Trust ...

R in face-to-face teams shows conflicting results about the impact of behavioral controls on trust; some research shows that controls increase the salience of good behavior, which increases trust while other research shows that controls increase the salience of poor behavior that decreases trust. The only study in virtual teams, which examined poorly functioning teams, found that controls incre...

Information systems are ever more connected to the Internet, which gives wide opportunities for interacting with other actors, systems and resources and for exploiting the open and vast marked. This pushes the limits for security mechanisms which in general are too rigorous to fully adapt to such a dynamic and heterogeneous environment. Trust mechanisms can supplement the security mechanisms in...

Sound localization by barn owls is commonly modeled as a matching procedure where localization cues derived from auditory inputs are compared to stored templates. While the matching models can explain properties of neural responses, no model explains how the owl resolves spatial ambiguity in the localization cues to produce accurate localization for sources near the center of gaze. Here, I exam...

Honor-based trust mechanism is an important means to evaluate the behavior of the P2P network node, and it is used to ensure the health of the P2P network application. Trust mechanisms need to evaluate a node to other node local trust value and local trust value because they do not consider the policy node and human evaluation error of two important factors. The calculation is difficult to accu...

Objective: To test whether religious affiliation and participation are associated with cooperation and trust in a controlled experimental setting. Methods: We match the results of individual survey responses on religious affiliation and participation to the actions of respondents in human subject experiments; we measure cooperation and trust as other-regarding behavior in canonical public goods...

Trust establishment in networks is the essential foundation for follow-on security mechanisms, such as key management and secure transmission. In this paper, we concentrate on self-organized, distributed and resource-constraint networks which pose formidable challenges on trust establishment due to lack of infrastructure and centralized servers. We model our trust establishment strategy as a lo...

The outcomes of the decisions we make can be used to inform subsequent choices and behavior. We investigated whether and how people with and without schizophrenia use positive and negative social outcomes and emotional displays to inform decisions to place trust in social partners. We also investigated the impact of reversals in social partners' behavior on decisions to trust. Thirty-two people...

Trust is an interesting criterion for analyzing and comparing network protocols. The goal of this paper is to explicit the different types of trust relations between entities which exchange routing information and establish a routing infrastructure based on the OLSR protocol. One such entity assumes the other entities will behave in a particular way and the relations coming from this trust beha...
