Which Adequate Trust Model for Trust Networks?

This article deals with the choice of individual trust models adapted to networks. We consider trust as a social and effective multi-agent process. We introduce the notion of trust networks viewed as a set of one-to-one trust relationships, we wonder which trust model should be chosen to build and exploit it. We extract five criteria for comparison of trust models. We then evaluate two trust models and discuss what could be a relevant trust model in a multi-agent setting. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
