Truthful reputation mechanisms for online systems: IFAAMAS-07 Victor Lesser distinguished dissertation award

ABSTRACT

The internet is moving rapidly towards an interactive milieu where online communities and economies gain importance over their traditional counterparts. While this shift creates opportunities and benefits that have already improved our day-to-day life, it also brings a whole new set of problems. For example, the lack of physical interaction that characterizes most electronic transactions, leaves the systems much more susceptible to fraud and deception.
