In online social networks, reputations of users (nodes) are emerged and propagated through interactions among the users. These interactions include intrinsic and extrinsic consensus (voting) among neighboring users influenced by the network topology. We introduce an algorithm that considers the degree information of nodes (users) to model how reputations spread within the network. In our algorithm, each node updates reputations about its neighbors by considering the history of interactions and the frequency of the interactions in recent history. The algorithm also captures the phenomena of accuracy of reputations deteriorating over time if interactions have not occurred recently. We present the following two contributions through experiments: (1) We show that an agent’s reputation value is influenced by the position of the node in the network and the neighboring topology; and (2) We also show that our …
