Multi-Agent Experimental Framework with Hierarchical Model of Trust in Contexts for Decision Making

Multi-Agent Experimental Framework with Hierarchical Model of Trust in Contexts for Decision Making

Paper in proceedings outside WoS and Scopus

The research in the area of computational models based on trust or reputation is a recent discipline and a lot of work and theoretical approaches was done. But only few computational trust and reputation models directly include ability to work with multi-context property of trust. Moreover, experimental frameworks or tested for theoretical computational are very sporadic. In our recent research, we provide two interoperable solutions which are able together cover a wide range of fundamental problems in trust and reputation computational models such as: single- and multi-context trust model, ability to work with uncertainty and recommendation, reputation and decision making protocol. In order to verify these proposal, we implemented an robust experimental framework based on multi-agent paradigms. In this paper, we describe one part of many simulation scenarios, which is focused on comparison single- and multi-context approach to trust.
