Abstract

Reputation is a distributed, socially ascribed, and collective belief of the society towards the stand point of a single person, group, role or even a non-human identity within the context of that society. Therefore, reputation can be only formalized based on the underlying principals and values of a specific context. In this paper we propose a model that clearly depicts how the reputation of a person in one context can affect his reputation in other contexts. This model provides a reputation propagation scheme that allows us to analyze the overall behavior of a person within the scope of a multi-context environment. It also caters suitable mechanisms to anticipate a proper initial reputation value for a person within the contexts that he has not been present in before.
