Abstract

Many reputation systems mainly concentrate on avoiding untrustworthy agents by communicating reputation. Here arises the problem that when an agent does not know another agent very much then there is no way to notice such ambiguity. This paper shows a new protocol in which an agent can notice that ambiguity using the notion of statistics, and illustrates the facility of designing agents' algorithms as well as existing reputation systems.
