Modelling trust management in agent-to-agent security scenario
… of trust management model that ensures agents communicating in a Context-Aware Component Interfacing Partem (CACIP) based Service Oriented Distributed Environment. The Agent-to-Agent Trust Management model is proposed to ensure security of agents that want to access services from the …

Provisioning of secure Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) based on trust contracts
… (ISC) mechanism that enhances the capability of agents to protect themselves against compromised entities in Multi-Agent system. To realize the framework, two tasks were carried out namely ® a simulation of an agent based system was created and trust accuracy levels based on the proposed …

An agent based framework for sharing personal health information
Over the past few years, several commercial vendors have started providing Personal Health Record (PHR) services. The PHR has been developed to be consumer-centric such that the consumer has all the control and not the health care provider. PHRs can be created, accessed and shared by a patient with …
