Abstract:

Trust plays a vital role in the decision to initiate any interaction. Rational agents may use past experiences and other agents’ opinions to decide to trust, but due to the nature of open multi-agent systems, where agents can dynamically join and leave the system at any time, agents may find themselves dealing with complete strangers whom neither they nor their friends have encountered before. This situation forces the agents to choose partners randomly, which significantly increases the risk of encountering unreliable agents. For instance, service requesters may become reluctant to initiate c

Abstract:

Along with the many benefits of IoT, its heterogeneity brings a new challenge to establish a trustworthy environment among the objects due to the absence of proper enforcement mechanisms. Further, it can be observed that often these encounters are addressed only concerning the security and privacy matters involved. However, such common network security measures are not adequate to preserve the integrity of information and services exchanged over the internet. Hence, they remain vulnerable to threats ranging from the risks of data management at the cyber-physical layers, to the potential discri

Abstract:

Researchers have long called for broader perspectives of performance evaluation style (Ferreira and Otley, 2009; Noeverman and Koene, 2005; Hartmann, 2000; Vagneur and Peiperl, 2000). Trust is relevant to performance evaluation and meaningful to other aspects of management control. However, little research exists on the relationship between trust and aspects of management control (Hartmann & Slapnicar, 2009; Noeverman, 2007). The primary purpose of this thesis is to explore the linkage between trust and performance evaluation style from a multidimensional perspective. Evaluation style encompas

Abstract:

Multi-agent systems are increasingly popular for modeling distributed environments that are highly complex and dynamic such as e-commerce, smart buildings, and smart grids. Often in open multi-agent systems, agents interact with other agents to meet their own goals. Trust is considered signiﬁcant in multi-agent systems to make interactions effectively, especially when agents cannot assure that potential partners share the same core beliefs about the system or make accurate statements regarding their competencies and abilities. This work describes a trust model that augments fuzzy logic with Q-

Abstract:

Trust is in decline within organizations resulting from poor management and ethical indifference. Failing to address trust perceptions has led to stress between management and employees. Researchers have studied organizational trust as a constant quality within groups but have neglected the uniquely individual constructs of trust that inhibit trust-building efforts. The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate how personal constructs of trust may affect outcomes at the organizational level among workers and managers in hierarchal structured organizations.

Abstract:

In recent years, we have witnessed an increasing use of trust and reputation systems in different areas of ICT. The idea at the base of trust and reputation systems is of letting users to rate the provided services after each interaction. Other users may use aggregate ratings to compute reputation scores for a given party. The computed reputation scores are a collective measure of parties trustworthiness and are used to drive parties interactions. Due to the widespread use of reputation systems, research work on them is intensifying and several models have been proposed. This calls for a me

Abstract:

<p>Information fusion is to combine information from a variety of sources, or sensors. When the sources are uncertain or contradicting conflict can arise. To deal with such uncertainty and conflict a trust model can be used. The most common ones in information fusion currently is bayesian theory and Dempster-Shafer theory. Bayesian theory does not explicitly handle ignorance, and thus predetermined values has to be hard coded into the system. This is solved in Dempster-Shafer theory by the introduction of ignorance.

Trust has become central in computing science research. The problem of nding trust paths and estimating the trust one can place in a partner arises in various application areas, including virtual organisations, authentication systems and reputation-based trust systems. We study the use of peer-to-peer algorithms for nding trust paths and probabilistically assessing trust values in systems where trust is organised similar to the `web of trust'. Many empirical results demonstrate that many real-life large networks and systems are scale-free, that is, the node degree follows a power law distribut

Since then many other theorists Renzulli (1977) and Subotnik, Olszewski-Kubilius, and Worrell (2011) have expanded on the definition of giftedness to include not only one's innate ability but development of potential through a specialised environment that encourages the gifted learner

Abstract:

Avec l'essor des systèmes d'aide à la décision intégrant l'intelligence artificielle (AI) dans le domaine médical, judiciaire ou du recrutement, la confiance entre l'humain et l'IA est devenue une priorité dans la conception de ces systèmes. De nombreux gouvernements et grandes entreprises ainsi que des chercheurs proposent diverses stratégies pour favoriser la confiance dans les systèmes intégrant l'IA. Cependant, la confiance est un concept complexe et multidimensionnel, et la confiance entre l'humain et l'IA, qui est un sujet de recherche récent, fait face à plusieurs défis. Sur le plan thé

Abstract:

Dans un monde de plus en plus connecté, la question de la confiance dans les sys-tèmes d’information qui nous entourent devient primordiale, et amène naturellement à des interrogations quant à leur sécurité. Les enjeux de cette dernière concernent autant la confidentialité des données individuelles que la protection des architectures critiques, notamment déployées dans le domaine de l’énergie et du transport. Dans cette thèse, nous abordons trois problématiques liées aux architectures de sécurité des systèmes d’information. Tout d’abord, nous proposons une architecture pour un module de ruptur

These nodes might share their data and resources, or cooperate with others to provide various services, such as data forwarding. Generally, the connectivity in opportunistic networks is always intermittent because communications between nodes are achieved by their opportunistic contacts. Since existing security mechanisms from Internet cannot be exploited to verify services provided by mobile nodes, two kinds of trust issues, data trust and action trust, therefore ari

Abstract:

The rapid growth of the Internet has resulted in the desperate need for alternative ways to keep electronic transactions secure while at the same time allowing entities that do not know each other to interact. This has, in turn, led to a wide area of interest in the issues of trust and trust modeling to be used by machines. A large amount of work has already been undertaken in this area in an attempt to transfer the trust and interaction decision making processes onto the machine. However this work has taken a number of different approaches with little to no correlation between various models
