Abstract

In multi-agent communities, trust is required when agents hold different beliefs or conflicting goals. We present a framework for decomposing agent reputation into competence---modeled as the probability of successfully carrying out an intended action---and integrity---modeled as a rational commitment to maintaining reputation. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach in an iterated prisoner's dilemma (IPD) domain.

In open MAS it is often a problem to achieve agents' interoperability. The heterogeneity of its components turns the establishment of interaction or cooperation among them into a non trivial task, since agents may use different internal models and the ...

Cooperation among selfish agents can be promoted by allowing agents to condition behavior on reputation. Social norms -- dictating how agents update the reputations of others -- are central in determining whether this mechanism is effective. In ...
