Abstract
An important problem in Grid computing is the management of trust among the entities (e.g. users, resources) involved in a collaboration or computation. In this paper, we present a trust model for Grid environments where trust is calculated based on the trust of the entity itself, its trust towards other entities and the trust of others towards the entity. The proposed approach uses the functionalities of Bayesian networks to be able to dynamically calculate and assign trust values to entities and also to evaluate their capabilities in different scenarios. An implementation of our approach using the GridSim toolkit is presented, and experimental results are shown to illustrate how Grid entities build up their trust values in selected interaction scenarios.
