Abstract

In our research group working on normative systems, we develop (Normative) Agent Based Models for evaluating policies, and as a basis for building distributed (normative) control components. If and how interactions between actors (represented by agents) take place are heavily impacted by the (dis)trust between those actors. In this paper, we discuss a model of the representation of the three components of the agent’s trustworthiness: competence, benevolence, and integrity. The model presented in this paper is being illustrated by a small simulation experiment.
