一种服务Agent的可信性评估方法

Approach for Evaluating the Trustworthiness of Service Agent

提出了一个基于服务Agent的计算框架,并从社交认知的角度建立了一个服务Agent的信任本体,支持服务Agent对信任信息进行推理.根据该信任本体,提出一系列基于信任推理的计算规则支持信任值的计算,帮助服务Agent进行理性的选择决策.案例研究结果表明,该方法能够有效地帮助服务请求方进行信任评价以及服务选择.

This paper addresses the service selection issue via a service agent framework coupled with a computational model based on trust ontology.The trust ontology proposed from the socio-cognitive view can offer a more insightful understanding in the trust relationships among service agents.A set of trust computational rules have been given to support the trust analysis and reasoning.Also the structure of the service agents has been given.Finally,a case study is used to illustrate how the service agents infer the trustworthiness of their partners by using the set of trust reasoning and computational rules
