focuses on the problem of deception in testimony propagation and aggregation. We introduce some models of deception and study how to efficiently detect deceptive agents following those models. Our approach involves a novel application of the well-known weighted majority technique to belief function

to identify those whose past behavior has been untrustworthy. In other words, finding trustworthy correspondents reduces to the problem of distributed reputation management. Our approach adapts the mathematical theory of evidence to represent and propagate the ratings that agents give to their correspondents

This paper considers the problem of automatically collecting ratings about a given party from others. Our approach involves a distributed agent architecture and adapts the mathematical theory of evidence to represent and propagate the ratings that participants give to each other. When evaluating

;wristwatch", ie speed is constant at any frequency, but on the testimony of its own "wristwatch". It is hard enough to understand as this wave in terms of mathematics is not a function. Author gives design of waves, and in addition to this paper, he gives a mathematical proof of this design. The fallacy

to witnesses who provide testimony of their experiences with the trustee. Restricting the witnesses to direct experience helps avoid double counting evidence. Trust propagation [8, 9] means estimating trust over referral paths. Existing approaches consider only forward paths wherein each agent trusts the next

in these kinds of environments, an agent must rely on referrals to agents that pass on testimony of their experiences with the trustee. These agents might be product users that the prospective buyer trusts because of their stated views on other products that the buyer is familiar

returns to b a cryptographed evaluation r on the service delivered. The agent b will employ R as testimonial when requested to perform the same task for a distinct customer agent. Our hypotheses are: (i) control over testimonials can be distributed as they are locally stored by the assessed agents, i

of the Hurricane Omar, the causes and the consequences of the waves are described. The propagation of the waves on the coast and in the land of the west part of the island of Basse-Terre is particularly described. The compilation of the different testimonies, the observations on several spots of the coast

How do people revise their beliefs once an item of evidence is discredited? Do they simply return to the belief states they had prior to acquiring that false information, or does the change propagate more widely through their belief network? For example, when the testimony of a key witness is shown

Theprincipal evidence for the cult stereotype has been derived from the testi-mony of deprogrammed former members. Although scholars of new religious movements have frequently observed that deprogrammees are not neutral wit-nesses, systematic empirical work in this area has been scant. Thepresent
