Abstract
This paper proposes a new trust and reputation model to assist decision making process into agents in P2P environments, taking WSMO as the base for definition of tasks to contract. This work shows the integration of trust and reputation model and WSMO in two ways: 1) how agents use WSMO as ontology to define their requirements, responses, domain-dependent features and metrics; and 2) how the Web services discovery process in WSMO may be improved using trust and reputation criteria given by the model from data stored by consumer agents in previous interactions.
