Trust management for distributed heterogeneous systems by using linguistic term sets and hierarchies, aggregation operators and mechanism design
We have modelled the problem of trust computation by means of fuzzy theory with crisp and fuzzy values. We have proposed to deal with heterogeneity by applying Linguistic Hierarchies and transformations among different hierarchies. We have applied game theory so as to promote truth-telling behaviours in reputation dissemination. We presented simulations of our solution and demonstrated the benefits it can provide.
