Abstract

In this paper, we propose an agent-based trust modeling architecture for service-oriented computing. A Trust Ontology is built to offer better understanding to the trust relationships in service-oriented systems. Based on this ontology, algorithms have been given for supporting trust analysis, reasoning and computing. Finally a case study is presented to illustrate how this formalism of service trust framework can be used. We argue that our trust model can assist service agents to make rational trading decisions by measuring the trustworthiness of the potential partners.
