Abstract

Social computing is the backbone of the increasing socialized web applications, which more and more people are tending to intensively rely on. Trust is a critical element for social computing that has been involved into many computational systems. It is a topic intriguing numerous studies. In this paper, we present a novel Computational Trust Framework based on the perspective of information sharing. Our Framework is able to quantify the trust value for a given message. To our best knowledge, this is the first time that trust is measured under information reliability and Entropy. We also explain our work with real-life examples.
