A Trustworthiness-Aware Spatial Task Allocation using a Fuzzy-based Trust and Reputation System Approach

作者:

Highlights:

• A framework computes workers trustworthiness based on trust and reputation factors.

• It produces a degree of trustworthiness score for a fairer decision.

• Sentiment analysis using Naïve Bayes to identify potential malicious workers.

• Introduces the use of referrals to alleviate new workers’ cold start problem.

• Results show that our approach achieves greater accuracy in task allocation.
