Semantic Web is emerging as a promising integration of trust management systems, fostering the use of ontology to achieve a common language for communication among humans, computers, and programs. In this paper, a novel Semantic Web solution called COmposite Trust and Trust management in Opportunistic Networks (COTTON) is proposed, which provides an architectural basis for representing trust and trust management in Opportunistic Networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
