Abstract

Multi agent systems (MAS) are endowed of interaction mechanism to ease communication and data exchange in the environment. In this paper, we explore these interactions in a cloud based MAS to identify trustworthy clients by sharing trust weights among cloud service providers, and using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to determine the most accurate value.

The proposed model has promising results and is successful even with a small number of retrieved trust weights.
