Abstract
Trust and reputation represent topical subjects in computer science, given the evolution of multi-agent systems, e-commerce or recommender systems. The present paper proposes a distributed reputation mechanism and analyses the users’ satisfaction degree in order to compare various methods of computing reputation. A scenario has been chosen as a use-case for the proposed mechanism, scenario that consists of an open real estate market. The mechanism may be further applied to any offer-request market and implementation may be used as a framework for competitively testing various aggregation functions.
