A Fuzzy Trust Model Using Multiple Evaluation Criteria

This paper is concerned with a fuzzy trust model which takes into account both evaluations from multiple criteria and the recommendations from others in order to set the trust degrees on entities. In the proposed trust model, the entity's preference degrees on the outcomes of the interactions are expressed in fuzzy sets and the trust degrees are determined by aggregating the satisfaction degrees with respect to evaluation criteria with Sugeno's fuzzy integral. In addition, the reputation information is incorporated into the trust degree determination.
