Abstract

Agent decision making in large scale multi-agent systems requires techniques which often involve uncertainty and risk. In this paper we propose the decision making protocol based on trust concept with respecting multi-context property of trust. One of the parts of this proposal is a recommendation protocol, which is used for obtaining recommendations from third party agents and gathering information for building trust.
