ABSTRACT
The use of previous direct interactions is probably the best way to calculate a reputation but, unfortunately this information is not always available. This is especially true in large multi-agent systems where interaction is scarce. In this paper we present a reputation system that takes advantage, among other things, of social relations between agents to overcome this problem.

Extracting reputation in multi agent systems by means of social network topology
AAMAS '02: Proceedings of the first international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems: part 1The problem of calculating a degree of reputation for agents acting as assistants to the members of an electronic community is discussed and a solution presented. Usual reputation mechanisms rely on feedback after interaction between agents. An ...
