Abstract

This paper aims at the trust calculation in social networks by addressing some major issues: Firstly, the paper evaluates a specific trust function and its behaviors, and then it focuses on the modification of that trust function by considering diverse scenarios. After that, the paper proposes a new approach with a specific functionality. The main goals are to support good agents strongly, block bad ones and create opportunities for newcomers or agents who want to show their merit in our society although we can not judge them. Finally, a mathematical discussion by a new trust function is provided with ultimate results.
