Abstract
In this paper we propose a Bayesian dynamic trust model based on Castelfranchi and Falcone’s works, thanks to which we can determine the agent’s trust in another agent. Trust is not only a static mental state: it changes over time. Either some new observations are perceived and modify the trust level, or no observation is perceived and so trust is eroded. Our model takes into account these dynamic aspects by a Bayesian Kalman filter. We present, experiment and discuss our formalism compared with others models. The results obtained with our model are relevant and account for the particular dynamic aspects of trust.
