Abstract

This paper presents a trust brokering system that operates in a peer-to-peer manner. The network of trust brokers operate by providing peer reviews in the form of recommendations regarding potential resource targets. One of the distinguishing features of our work is that it separately models the accuracy and honesty concepts. By separately modeling these concepts, our model is able to significantly improve the performance. We apply the trust brokering system to a resource manager to illustrate its utility in a public-resource Grid environment. The simulations performed to evaluate the trust-aware resource matchmaking strategies indicate that high levels of 'robustness' can be attained by considering trust while matchmaking and allocating resources.
