Abstract

In this paper, the multi-agent organisation Trusted Community is presented. Trusted Communities are formed and joined by self-organised by agents with strong mutual trust relations and the purpose to increase their personal utility. Trusted Communities are maintained by management actions delegated by a designated member called Trusted Community Manager, having the goal to preserve and optimise the composition and stability of this organisation. This organisation provides performance benefits for their members by improving interaction efficiency, information sharing and cooperation between the agents. In the work presented here, Trusted Communities are conceptually defined and the application in an open Desktop Grid System is discussed.
