基于可信联盟的服务推荐方法

随着满足用户需求的候选服务数量的飞速增长,服务选择的难度日益增大,服务推荐已成为服务选择的重要环节之一,受到越来越多的关注.然而,目前基于协同过滤的服务推荐方法较少关注到服务的不同属性特征对相似度计算会产生不同的影响,在寻找邻居用户时也很少考虑推荐用户与目标用户之间的信任关系,难以抵抗推荐用户的恶意推荐,无法保障推荐结果的精确度和可信性.针对以上问题,文中通过引入服务的推荐属性特征,改进传统相似度计算公式并基于Beta信任模型建立用户间信任关系,根据改进的相似度计算方法与服务推荐行为的信任度构建出邻居用户的可信联盟,提出了一种基于可信联盟的服务推荐方法.仿真实验与结果表明:与现有其它诸多方法相比,该方法不仅提高了服务推荐的精确度,还能有效保障服务推荐者的可信性,能较好的抵抗恶意攻击.     

一种基于信任的Web服务发现方法

在面向服务的环境下,由于Web服务本身的动态性和网络环境的不确定性,致使用户很难获得可信的高质量服务。当前基于反馈信息的信任评估方法没有考虑恶意评估对服务可信程度的影响,本文通过加入客观评价对此进行了修正,并提出一种从服务的能力、稳定性和声誉三方面来建立的Web服务信任模型,提升了信任评估的准确度。在此基础上提出一种可信的Web服务发现框架,通过服务交易历史信息获取比较客观的信任属性,同时结合非功能属性进行服务的综合评估,利用熵值法来确定其中各非功能属性的权重,从而发现满足用户需求的可信服务。仿真结果表明,该方法是可行和有效的。     

一种角色分离的信任评估模型

基于可信推荐的服务质量评估模型

由于网络用户多样性和利益诉求的复杂性,部分用户发布的QoS数据不完全可信,以致影响了QoS评估的精度,为此提出基于可信推荐的QoS评估模型TR-SQE。该模型以用户推荐的与众不同程度作为其推荐信任度,隔离推荐信任度低于阈值的用户发布的QoS数据;TR-SQE将修正过的QOS信息作为推荐数据,接着根据用户与推荐者的偏好相似性来评估服务质量。分析和仿真结果表明,TR-SQE的平均绝对偏差MAE较其他方法小,评估结果与真实的服务质量基本相符,TR-SQE有助于用户的服务选择。     

一个网构软件可信实体模型及基于评估的信任度量

Trust‐oriented QoS‐aware composite service selection based on genetic algorithms

Service selection in service‐oriented computing has emerged to be an increasingly important research area. From the client's point of view, in addition to the QoS of a service or a service composition, the trust level becomes an important part. As the complexity of invocation in service composition has been greatly increased, a comprehensive mechanism, which could evaluate both the subjective aspect as trust expression and the objective aspect as QoS, is needed. In this paper, we provide a formal service composition architecture for service selection. In addition, we propose a trust evaluation method for the service composition plan based on the subjective probability theory, based on them, our trust‐oriented genetic algorithm (TOGA) is proposed to find a near‐optimal service composition plan with QoS constraints. Experimental results have illustrated that our proposed approach can discover the near‐optimal solution efficiently. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

云环境下基于服务等级协议的信任评估模型

针对用户在交互过程中对云服务商缺乏信任的问题,提出了一个基于服务等级协议(SLA)的云计算信任模型。在该模型中,云服务商在向服务中心--可信的第三方平台注册时,首先提交自身的实力评估报告,说明其实力、运营、技术及提供的服务属性等,服务中心根据相关的评价标准对该云服务商进行评估,得到系统信任;其次把系统信任引入到传统的声誉机制中,把系统信任、直接信任和间接信任作为评估一个云服务提供商的三个重要因素,并计算出云服务商的综合信任度;最后用户根据云服务商提供的服务和综合信任度与其进行SLA协商,确定最终交互对象,屏蔽掉不诚实或信誉较低的云服务商。实验结果表明,在基于服务等级协议的信任模型中,由于引入了系统信任,云服务商综合信誉的获得更全面准确、有效地防止了云服务商的不诚信行为,提高了交互的成功率。     

Trust-based service composition in multi-domain environments under time constraint

Trust plays a pivotal role in decision support for service-oriented computing networks. Recent advances in service evaluation and selection have provided some preliminary findings on the construction of composite services. However,the great expense of interdomain validations,the dynamic execution time and the subjective requirement for global execution time remain serious obstacles to the trust-based service composition.To solve these issues,this paper proposes a novel service-composition approach,modeling the trust-based service composition as the multi-domain scheduling and assignment problem using the minimum service resources within a certain time constraint. In our approach,each service is designed as an exclusive resource during its execution.By analyzing the required interdomain communications,the number of available services and the aggregated trust value in each domain,the optimal domain can be obtained at each step of service selection. Meanwhile,loop parallelization and predecessor reselection are adopted when the task cannot be completed on schedule. Finally,to raise higher trust value of the composite result,the redundant service resources of the initial composition are further optimized. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed trust-based service-composition approach outperforms traditional ones in both effectiveness and scalability under various time constraints.     

A Multi-dimensional Trust-aware Cloud Service Selection Mechanism Based on Evidential Reasoning Approach

In the last few years, cloud computing as a new computing paradigm has gone through significant development, but it is also facing many problems. One of them is the cloud service selection problem. As increasingly boosting cloud services are offered through the internet and some of them may be not reliable or even malicious, how to select trustworthy cloud services for cloud users is a big challenge. In this paper, we propose a multi-dimensional trust-aware cloud service selection mechanism based on evidential reasoning(ER) approach that integrates both perception-based trust value and reputation based trust value, which are derived from direct and indirect trust evidence respectively, to identify trustworthy services. Here, multi-dimensional trust evidence, which reflects the trustworthiness of cloud services from different aspects, is elicited in the form of historical users feedback ratings. Then, the ER approach is applied to aggregate the multi-dimensional trust ratings to obtain the real-time trust value and select the most trustworthy cloud service of certain type for the active users. Finally, the fresh feedback from the active users will update the trust evidence for other service users in the future.     

An evidence-based scheme for web service selection

Existing studies on the web service selection problem focus mainly on the functional QoS properties of the service rather than the consumer satisfaction and trust aspects. While a good QoS enhances the reputation of a service, different consumers invariably hold differing views of the service contents. Some service reputation approaches primarily consider the consumer’s prior experience of the service via opinion feedback system, may neglect the effect of social trust transition in the recommendations of others. As a result, the problem of reaching consensus on the level of consumer trust regarding service becomes one of key issues in service selection. This study proposes a trust-based service selection model to estimate the degree of consumer trust in a particular service based on the consumers’ direct experience and indirect recommendation of the service. In the proposed approach, the degree of consumer trust is correctly estimated by extending Dempster–Shafer evidence reasoning theory to the reputation computation using consumers’ direct experience and incorporating Jøsang’s belief model for solving the trust transition problem in the indirect recommendation of the service. The proposed model effectively enables deception detection by means of existing bodies of evidence, and therefore excludes the fraudulent evidence of malicious evaluators from the selection process. In addition, a quality index is proposed to help third party (TTP) examine the body of evidence and make the outranking result more reliable. Importantly, the quality index is based not only on the confidence degree of the evidence, but also on the support degree, and therefore discovers the effects of intentional negative assessments. The validity of the proposed approach is demonstrated numerically by means of two service selection examples.     

基于离散量子粒子群的信任增值服务工作流选择方法

随着面向服务计算技术的发展,用户提出的任务趋于复杂化,如何高效地把现存的各种组件服务整合起来形成新的满足复杂任务需求的增值服务即组合服务,已成为研究的热点。针对这种增值服务的服务选择问题,设计了一种信任增值离散量子粒子群算法。该算法与传统的面向QoS全局最优的服务选择算法的区别在于,前者不仅考虑了服务的信任问题,有效地解决了服务工作流中的恶意欺骗问题,同时还结合工作流的特点,将量子粒子群算法离散化,根据服务选择应用场景重新定义了量子粒子群算法中各种位置的计算方法和其中权重系数的自动调整。仿真实验结果表明,该离散量子粒子群算法不仅降低了服务选择的时间,且能得到更优的适应度值,同时还考虑了信任问题,提高了服务选择的成功率。     

Bootstrapping trust of Web services based on trust patterns and Hidden Markov Models

We propose in this paper a new approach for bootstrapping trust of Web services in which the interactions of a Web service with a user are observed during a certain time frame. The observations sequence is modeled as a Hidden Markov Model and matched against pre-defined trust patterns in order to assess the behavior of such Web service. The pre-defined trust patterns are specifications of possible behaviors of Web services such as trusted, malicious, betraying, oscillating, and redemptive. Based on the matching result, an initial trust value is assigned to the Web service. Our experimental results show that our approach enjoys good precision and recall values and provides a fair distribution of trust values. Besides, the proposed approach is applied on a dataset of real-world Web services. A comparative study with published bootstrapping approaches shows a better bootstrapping success rate for our new approach.
