focus are decentralized communication systems, it contains an excellent
discussion on reputation systems across domains (including terminology)

Abstract

Self-organized networks such as mobile ad-hoc, Internet-based peer-to-peer,
wireless mesh 
and Fourth Generation (4G) Wireless networks depend on cooperation of
nodes. Reputation 
systems help nodes decide with whom to cooperate and which nodes to avoid.
They have 
been studied and applied almost separately in diverse disciplines such as
economics, computer 
science and social science, resulting in effort duplication and
inconsistent terminology. In 
this paper, we aim at bringing together these efforts by outlining
features and fundamental 
questions common to reputation systems in general. We derive methodologies
to address these 
questions and lessons for both reputation system design and research from
our own experiences 
and evaluations by simulation and analytical modelling. We argue for using
deviation tests, 
discounting, only passing on of first-hand information, secondary
response, and stressing the 
importance of identity.
