Abstract

In open multiagent systems, agents depend on reputation and trust mechanisms to evaluate the behavior of potential partners. Often these evaluations (social evaluate) are associated with a measure of reliability that the source agent computes. When considering communicated social evaluations, this may lead to serious problems due to the subjectivity of reputation-related information. In this paper, instead of considering only reliability measures computed from the sources, we provide a mechanism that allows the recipient according to its own knowledge, decide whether the piece of information is reliable. We do this by allowing the agents engage in an argumentation-based dialog
