Introduction

Connected to the internet you have a lot of opportunities to interact with strangers. Some of the interactions are funny or informative and some of them are profitable and all involve risks. A reputation system gives people information about others's past performance. It helps people decide who to trust, encourages people to be more trustworthy and discourages those who are not trustworthy from participating.

In general, what is Reputation Information good for?

  • Value Preposition: To WHOM does reputation provide WHAT value?
    • Where can the availability of reputation information help to make things better?
    • How does it help there (what does 'better' mean)?
  • Limitations: What can Reputation Information NOT provide?

What is Reputation?

  • a 1,2,n dimensional value?
  • a discrete or a rational number?
  • comparable, combinable?

Userfriendly submission/use of Reputation Information

  • Tools for making submission of reputation information user friendly
  • Tools for making use (application) of reputation information user friendly
  • Acceptability of Reputation Information by end users

Anonymously Supplying/Storing/Using Reputation Information

  • using a tusted reputation provider who must keep all information secret
  • make it algorithmically impossible to derive a reputation information supplier's / user's identiy.

Toolset ... for building Reputation-based Solutions

Architecture for a Reputation Information Management System

  • building blocks for building a reputation management system
    • what functions do the building blocks provide?
    • how do they depend on each other?
    • alternative building blocks for similar functionality
  • sample scenario for illustrating building block's functionality and interactions

Method for integrating Reputation Information into a product/solution

  • Given an application and given a reputation management system, are there common techniques for integrating the two?



Working Packages

  • which building block?
  • which requirements?
  • expected outcome?



State of the art

  • Literature survey
  • Conferences to watch
  • Companies active in this area
