The Cog-Trust project
Cog-Trust is an open source project for an agent-based Java framework designed on the Computational model of Socio Cognitive Theory of Trust.
Details
Cog-Trust realizes an hybrid agent architecture: a deliberative module is coupled to classifiers and a set of fuzzy based decision-making modules used for trust assesment.
Cog-Trust provides a multi-agent simulator to test different strategies of delegation based on trust playing a repeated trust game. Trustors compete in succesfully delegating the assigned task to agent choosen within a dynamic population.
Cog-Trust also provides features for designing environments, populations and built-in infrastructues for agent communication, contract-net and events notifications.
User can add their own strategy of delegation to the predefined set of trustor and observe how it performs in the Cog-Trust simulation. Tools for data analysis and visual trust network monitoring are also available.
Features:
- BDI agent implementation using Jason.
- CArtAgo environment modeling and programming.
- JFCM: Fuzzy Cognitive Maps Java framework.
- Data Logging.
- Matlab scripts for data analysis.
- Visual monitoring of trust networks.

Documentation
Cog-Trust actually runs as a Jason application running inside a CArtAgO environment. All you need to get started with the Cog-Trust framework is:
- Download and extract the leatest ZIP release of Cog-Trust from here.
- Download and extract the leatest release of the Jason platform from here.
- Run the Jason platform, then load and run the example file CogTrust.mas2j from the CogTrust directory.
