Abstract
The reputation of subject is a measure of a community’s opinion about that subject. A subject’s reputation plays a core role in communities within Collective Adaptive Systems (CAS) and can influence a community’s perception and their interactions with the subject. Their reputation can also affect computational activities within a system. While reputation is frequently used in CAS, there is a lack of agreed methods for its use, representation, and auditability. The aim of this chapter is to investigate key facets of an auditable reputation service for CAS, we contribute: Use cases for reputation and provenance in CAS, which are categorised into functional, auditable, privacy and security, and administrative; and a RESTful Reputation API, which allows users access to subject feedback and to access feedback reports and reputation measures.
