Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) was not designed to be secure against malicious users. But some secure systems like trust and reputation management algorithms trust DHT with their d...
Abstract. Security and fault-tolerance is a big issue for intensive parallel computing in pervasive environments with hardware errors or malicious acts that may alter the result. I...
The scientific research in the area of computational mechanisms for trust and reputation in virtual societies is a recent discipline oriented to increase the reliability and perfor...
Reputation systems aggregate mutual feedback of interacting peers into a "reputation" metric for each participant. This is then available to prospective service "req...
In pervasive computing, devices or peers may implement or compose services using services from other devices or peers, and may use components from various sources. A composition t...
