Abstract

The scientific research in the area of computational mechanisms for trust and reputation in virtual societies is a recent discipline oriented to increase the reliability and performance of electronic communities. Computer science has moved from the paradigm of isolated machines to the paradigm of networks and distributed computing. Likewise, artificial intelligence is quickly moving from the paradigm of isolated and non-situated intelligence to the paradigm of situated, social and collective intelligence. The new paradigm of the so called intelligent or autonomous agents and multi-agent systems (MAS) together with the spectacular emergence of the information society technologies (specially reflected by the popularization of electronic commerce) are responsible for the increasing interest on trust and reputation mechanisms applied to electronic societies. This review wants to offer a panoramic view on current computational trust and reputation models.

Reviewer: Marlin W Thomas

The Internet is as much a social construct as it is an engineering construct. In any social construct, issues of trust and reputation underlay confidence in communication, especially commercial communication in the form of monetary exchanges. The authors present a broadly conceived and well-detailed overview of these issues as they relate to artificial intelligence (AI) in a distributed environment, and to electronic commerce. The authors begin by describing the response of AI to electronic commerce in terms of two competing conceptual models: the cognitive and the game theoretical models. They explain the various information sources, such as witness information and sociological information, that are used to calculate trust and reputation. The heart of the paper is the review of a representatively broad selection of computational trust and reputation models. In addition to detailing their salient characteristics, the authors also provide critiques and situate the competing models within the field as a whole. The paper ends with an evaluative summary of the competing approaches, and with some indications of the future direction of research. The authors mange to convey the theoretical outlines of the field of trust and reputation, and to provide some detail regarding individual approaches to the issue. The paper is an extremely useful introduction to the field for novices, and it provides those knowledgeable in the field with a well-reasoned summary of research approaches.
