Abstract

Trust evaluation is an important topic in both research and applications in sociable environments. This paper presents a model for trust evaluation between agents by the combination of direct trust, indirect trust through neighbouring links and the reputation of an agent in the environment (i.e. social network) to provide the robust evaluation. Our approach is typology independent from social network structures and in a decentralized manner without a central controller, so it can be used in broad domains.
