A multi-criteria decision-making formulation of trust using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

摘要: Trust models have widespread applications in different areas. In this paper, we formulate trust as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. By applying new formulation, one can treat the process of establishment based on some set trustworthiness criteria. looking at whole, may miss important factors. Only by dividing concept into its building blocks and weighting those proposed perception importance context toward specific goal, achieve better decision. As structural way for making decisions, method uses fuzzy analytic hierarchy (AHP). Fuzzy AHP provides both advantages fuzziness, which is compatible with uncertain, vague, subjective nature systematic approach to make decisions complex MCDM problems. order aggregate evaluations each recommender about every trustee candidate, Sugeno integral used build final score. At last, calculates recommendation score trustor's belief. We present an illustrative example plus empirical experiment Web service selection demonstrate application formulation evaluation scores.
