Abstract

This paper presents a reputation model applied to a multi-agent system for simulating regulatory policies and reputation of the social organization of San Jerónimo Vegetable Garden, located in Seville, Spain. We have used BDI agents with fuzzy beliefs for the investment and satisfaction analysis of services, as well as a reputation model as a performance measure of their activities within the project.
