Mobile service robots are going to play an increasing role in the society of humans. Voice-enabled interaction with service robots becomes very important, if such robots are to be deployed in real-world environments and accepted by the vast majority of pot ...
A recommender system's ability to establish trust with users and convince them of its recommendations, such as which camera or PC to purchase, is a crucial design factor especially for e-commerce environments. This observation led us to build a trust model ...
Preference-based search is the problem of finding an item that matches best with a user's preferences. User studies show that example-based tools for preference-based search can achieve significantly higher accuracy when they are complemented with suggesti ...
Using decentralized reputation systems is a promising approach to ensuring cooperation and fairness in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. However, they are vulnerable to liars and robustness has not been analyzed in detail. With our work, we provide a first step to t ...
The internet is moving rapidly towards an interactive milieu where online communities and economies gain importance over their traditional counterparts. While this shift creates opportunities and benefits that have already improved our day-to-day life, it ...
Trust and reputation systems have proven to be essential to enforcing cooperative behavior in peer-to-peer networks. We briefly describe the current approaches to building reputation systems: social networks formation, probabilistic estimation and game the ...
Self-organized networks require some mechanism to ensure cooperation and fairness in the face of individual utility maximizing users and potential malicious attacks. Otherwise, network performance can be seriously deteriorated. One promising approach are d ...
Choosing the best out of an increasing number of options requires reliable and accurate information. As our time and resources are limited, we commonly use the experience of others in order to take decisions. Reputation mechanisms aggregate in a formal way ...

Reputation systems are widely and successfully used in centralized scenarios. Will they work equally well, however, in decentralized scenarios such as Internet-based peer-to-peer systems and mobile ad hoc networks? ...
Self-organized networks require some mechanism to ensure cooperation and fairness. A promising approach is the use of decentralized reputation systems. However, their vulnerability to liars has not yet been analyzed in detail. In this paper, we provide a r ...
