title = "Reputation propagation in composite services",
abstract = "This paper investigates the problem of reputation management in composite services. Our focus is on developing a method of distribution of reputation received by a composite service to its component services. The proposed method enables the composite service to provide a fair distribution of reputation values so that a component service is neither penalised nor awarded for the bad and good performances respectively, of other component services. Experiment results show that the proposed technique propagates the {"}fair share{"} of reputation from the composite service to its component services.",
