Abstract

Before autonomous software agents can negotiate contracts in the future, trustworthy negotiating partners must be identified.  In order to automate this process that is based on diverse information and individual preferences, this article provides an insight into existing trust and reputation models and methods of multi-criteria decision-making. Based on this, a combination of the two is proposed to suggest an automated procedure for assessing the trustworthiness of potential negotiating partners.
