Abstract

Trust and reputation systems represent a signicant trend in decision
support for Internet mediated service provision. The basic idea is to let
parties rate each other, for example after the completion of a transaction,
and use the aggregated ratings about a given party to derive a trust or
reputation score, which can assist other parties in deciding whether or not
to transact with that party in the future. A natural side effect is that it
also provides an incentive for good behaviour, and therefore tends to have
a positive effect on market quality. Reputation systems can be called
collaborative sanctioning systems to reect their collaborative nature, and
are related to collaborative ltering systems. Reputation systems are
already being used in successful commercial online applications. There is
also a rapidly growing literature around trust and reputation systems, but
unfortunately this activity is not very coherent. The purpose of this
article is to give an overview of existing and proposed systems that can be
used to derive measures of trust and reputation for Internet transactions,
to analyse the current trends and developments in this area, and to propose
a research agenda for trust and reputation systems. 

Key words: Trust, reputation, transitivity, collaboration, e-commerce,
security, decision
