Abstract: |
Semantic Web will transform the way people satisfy their requests
letting them delegate complex actions to intelligent agents, which will act on
behalf of their users into real-life applications, under uncertain and risky situations.
Thus, trust has already been recognized as a key issue in Multi-Agent
Systems. Current computational trust models are usually built either on an
agent’s direct experience or reports provided by others. In order to combine the
advantages and overcome the drawbacks of these approaches, namely interaction
trust and witness reputation, this paper presents a hybrid trust model that
combines them in a dynamic and flexible manner. The main advantage of our
approach is that it provides a reliable and flexible model with low bandwidth
and storage cost. Moreover, we present the integration of this model in JADE, a
multi-agent framework and provide an evaluation and an e-Commerce scenario
that illustrate the usability of the proposed model. |
