Abstract:
Awareness of social ratings such as reputation,
credibility and trustworthiness plays a key role in digital ecosystems
where autonomous agents collaborate in order to publish
their services or search for services. The integration of
these social ratings along with attribute matching presents a
novel approach and strengthens stability and confidence in
autonomous distributed communities. This ensures that the
selection of the optimal service is guaranteed while minimizing
general security and business related risks. In this paper we
discuss a framework for service registration which is hosted in
a P2P environment. Service consumers can discover services
which are grouped based on their contexts. Both, services and
group alliances are defined through semantically enriched
metadata and social ratings.
