Abstract
- The need of managing complex and interactive activities is becoming a key challenge in the “Internet of Things” (IoT) and leads to request large hardware and power resources. A possibility of facing such a problem is represented by the possibility of virtualizing physical IoT environments over the so called Cloud-of-Things (CoT), where each device is associated with one or more software agents working in the Cloud on its behalf. In this open and heterogeneous context, IoT devices obtain significant advantages by the social cooperation of software agents, and the selection of the most trustworthy partners for cooperating becomes a crucial issue, making necessary to use a suitable trust model. The cooperation activity can be further improved by clustering agents in different groups on the basis of trust measures, allowing each agent will to interact with the agents belonging to its own group. To this purpose, we designed an algorithm to form agent groups on the basis of information about reliability and reputation collected by the agents. In order to validate both the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach, we performed some experiments in a simulated scenario, which showed significant advantages introduces by the use of the trust measures.
