Abstract
This paper presents a trust brokering system that oper- ates in a peer-to-peer manner. The network of trust brokers operate by providing peer reviews in the form of recommen- dations regarding potential resource targets. One of the dis- tinguishing features of our work is that it separately models the accuracy and honesty concepts. By separately model- ing these concepts, our model is able to significantly im- prove the performance. We apply the trust brokering system to a resource manager to illustrate its utility in a public- resource Grid environment. The simulations performed to evaluate the trust-aware resource management strategies indicate that high levels of "robustness" can be attained by considering trust while allocating the resources.
