Markov model for managing dynamic trust

In this paper we propose a trust model for decision making that models both the context specific and the dynamic nature of trust. We propose to make use of the Markov Model for modelling the context specific and the dynamic nature of trust. Using the Markov Model, we will show how we can predict the trustworthiness value of an entity in the inmnediate future time slot. We make use of the trust levels and the trust scales that we had introduced in an earlier publication [31], in this paper
