In many dynamic open systems, autonomous agents must interact with one another to
achieve their goals. Such agents may be self-interested and, when trusted to perform an …

To date, trust and reputation systems have often been evaluated using methods of their
designers' own devising. Recently, we demonstrated that a number of noteworthy trust and …

In this paper, we deal with the sequential decision making problem of agents operating in
computational economies, where there is uncertainty regarding the trustworthiness of …

This thesis work is in the area of modeling trust in multi-agent systems, systems of software
agents designed to act on behalf of users (buyers and sellers), in applications such as e …

This paper presents a general and model independent analysis of the problem of feature
extraction in pattern recognition. We will derive two criteria which ensure the existence of a …
