Trust plays important roles on effective interaction and cooperation for multi-agent systems
(MAS). This study aims at finding out the current situation and future trends of computational …

In open multi-agent systems, agents engage in interactions to share and exchange
information. Due to the fact that these agents are self-interested, they may jeopardize mutual …

Trust is a fundamental concern in large-scale open distributed systems. It lies at the core of
all interactions between the entities that have to operate in such uncertain and constantly …

Trust plays a crucial role in supporting agents to select the partners while interacting with
each other in open distributed multi-agent systems. Researches on computational trust …

Abstract Research in Multi-Agent Systems has revealed that Agents must enter into a
relationship voluntarily in order to collaborate, otherwise that collaborative efforts may fail [1 …

In open multi-agent systems, often, agents interact with each other to meet their objectives.
Trust is, therefore, considered essential to make such interactions useful. However, trust is a …

Trust has been recognized as a key component of agent decision making in the context of
multiagent systems (MASs). Though diverse trust models and mechanisms, influenced by …

In open environments, agents depend on reputation and trust mechanisms to evaluate the
behavior of potential partners. The scientific research in this field has considerably …

Multi-agent systems can break interactions in distributed and heterogeneous environments,
therefore, trust models play a critical role in determining how interactions take place …

Trust is a fundamental factor when people are interacting with each other, hence it is natural
that trust has been researched also in relation to applications and agents. However, there is …
