Abstract:
This paper attempts to quantify the effects of trust on the network performance and structural evolution of a service network to further apply trust to cooperation among individuals. Based on an existing service network model, two different strategies for partner selection, i.e., trust-based and random are devised, and their effects are observed. Experimental results show that the network with the trust-based strategy can accomplish various services with a higher probability, compared with the network with random strategy. Moreover, the trust-based partner selection can make the network quickly converge to an equilibrium state, i.e., the values of its structural characteristics remain stable.
