The POEMS project is creating an environment for end-to-end performance modeling of complex parallel and distributed systems, spanning the domains of application software, runti...
In this paper we develop a novel probabilistic model of computational trust that explicitly deals with correlated multi-dimensional contracts. Our starting point is to consider an...

In this paper, we propose an efficient mechanism dealing with trust assessment for agent societies, aiming to accurately assess the trustworthiness of the collaborating agents. I...
We propose a method for constructing Dempster-Shafer belief functions modeling the trust of a given agent (the evaluator) in another (the target) by combining statistical informat...
In this paper, we present a framework for achieving anonymity and trust, two seemingly contradictory properties, in distributed systems. Our approach builds on webs of trust, a we...
