Component selection approach combining trust fuzzy evaluation and dynamic clustering
Hongyu Zhang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2011
Internetware is faced with the significant challenges of trust in the open and dynamic Internet environment.A component selection approach meeting trust expectation nearest to user requirement is explored by means of the fuzzy theory.In this approach six trust attributes of component are defined for Internetware,and a fuzzy synthetic method of multi-factors is applied to evaluate component's trust.On the basis of these,an Internetware model to satisfy the trust evaluation expectation of user requirements is built,and a trusted component selection method employing dynamic clustering based on fuzzy equivalence relation is explored to achieve the mapping from candidate component to abstract component.An application case is given to show the effectiveness of this approach.
