Abstract

A trust model was proposed for the open grid market. Our trust model emphasizes the importance of both direct trust and indirect trust/reputation when evaluating the trustworthiness of a grid service provider. Since many factors contribute to the direct and indirect trusts, a new method based on Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) theory was proposed to determine the objective weights of both direct and indirect trusts. The simulation results demonstrate that our trust model reflects the trustworthiness of a service provider more accurately than the weighted feedback model and eBay trust model and thus improves users' satisfaction in the open grid environment.
