A Biologically Inspired Trust Model for Open Multi-Agent Systems That Is Resilient to Rapid Performance Fluctuations by Zoi Lygizou, Dimitris Kalles

“…However, existing trust models face challenges such as agent mobility, which causes agents to lose accumulated trust when moving across networks; changing behaviors, where previously reliable agents may degrade over time; and the cold start problem, which hinders the evaluation of newly introduced agents due to a lack of prior data. To address these issues, we introduced a biologically inspired trust model in which trustees assess their own capabilities and store trust data locally. …”
