Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this paper we present a trust-oriented solution that can be used when building Peer-to-Peer recommendation systems. We discuss its benefits in comparison to a centralized solution, its requirements, its pitfalls and how these can be overcome. In our approach, we base the formation of trust on evidential reasoning and made the proposed design with ease of adoption by existing infrastructures in mind. The paper also includes a preliminary analysis of performance based on a simple model we use to investigate the impacts on scalability and thus show the applicability of the protocol.
