Trust Management for Service-Oriented Environments

From the reviews:
“This short book thoroughly covers one possible theoretical and algorithmic answer to the conundrum of Web service selection by users: base your selection decision on the reputation of the offered Web services. … the book solely uses reputation, the ‘confidence in the ability of a specific subject to fulfill a certain task,’ as a proxy for trust … . The book is an academic monograph geared toward active researchers who are working directly within the trust or reputation management domains.” (Christoph F. Strnadl, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2010)
