Trust management is one of the most challenging issues in the emerging cloud computing
area. Over the past few years, many studies have proposed different techniques to address …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are emerging as useful technology for information
extraction from the surrounding environment by using numerous small‐sized sensor nodes …

Distributed and Cloud Computing: From Parallel Processing to the Internet of Things offers
complete coverage of modern distributed computing technology including clusters, the grid …

We propose a novel trust framework to address the issue of “Can Alice trust Bob on a
service?” in large online social networks (OSNs). Many models have been proposed for …

In peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, reputation aggregation and ranking are the most time-
consuming and space-demanding operations. This paper proposes a new gossip protocol …

Distributed networks are networks in which each node can act as a server or client and
hence any node can provide service to any other node. In such a scenario, establishing a …

In this paper, we address the problem of trust management in multi-cloud environments
based on a set of distributed Trust Service Providers (TSPs). These are independent third …

Most deployed authorization systems rely on a central trusted service whose compromise
can lead to the breach of millions of user accounts and permissions. We present WAVE, an …

Advancements in cloud computing are leading to a promising future for collaborative cloud
computing (CCC), where globally-scattered distributed cloud resources belonging to …

Trust management is an extensively investigated topic. A lot of trust models and systems
have been proposed in the literature. However, a universally agreed trust model is rarely …
