Trust modeling has attracted wide attention in different domains and served as the basis for
decision-making under different contexts. Building a robust and effective trust model that …

Trust models have widespread applications in different areas. In this paper, we formulate
trust as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. By applying this new formulation …

It is necessary to consider the trust relationship among experts in the process of group
decision-making, however the trust network and preference information among experts may …

The aim of this work is to introduce a trust model, which is highly consistent with the social
nature of trust in computational domains. To this end, we propose a hesitant fuzzy multi …

There are few trust models capable of incorporating the co-existence of trust and distrust as
distinct concepts. In this regard, most of the existing trust models implicitly use distrust …

Increasing man-machine trust has burgeoned during the last few decades. The growing
interest in trust-building has led to the study of the non-dichotomous nature of trust. Trust as …

In group decision-making (GDM), there exist cognitive and realistic uncertainties and
humans exhibit hesitation and ambiguity. Using probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) can …

In group decision-making (GDM) problems, experts need to communicate and adjust their
opinions in order to achieve consensus on the final decision-making output. Since experts …

In this paper, we use a combination of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy VIKOR
approaches from the domain of multi-criteria decision making to formulate trust. The VIKOR …

Considering the uncertainty of large group decision-making and the limitation of resources,
this paper constructs a large group decision-making method with hesitant fuzzy linguistic …
