Abstract

During the last twenty years, a huge amount of trust and reputation models have been proposed, each of them with their own particularities and targeting different domains. While much effort has been made in defining ever-increasing complex models, little attention has been paid to abstract away the particularities of these models into a common set of easily understandable concepts. We propose a conceptual framework for computational trust models that will be used for analyzing their features and for comparing heterogeneous and relevant trust models.

This work has been partially funded by the European Commission through the FP7/2007-2013 project NESSoS (www.nessos-project.eu) under grant agreement number 256980, and by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the research project ARES (CSD2007-00004) and SPRINT (TIN2009-09237). The first author is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education through the National F.P.U. Program.
