Research on Web Services Maiden Business Trust Metrics, Appraisal and Filtration Model

Internet gives small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals an easy way to set up web sites to provide Web services throughout the world. But good Web services vendors are always intermingled with bad ones. When we seek an unknown Web service provider in an unfamiliar field, we must quantify trust before transaction and select the best vendor to assure that everything works as we expected. In this paper, we suggest an evaluation model of trust. We extract five maiden trust metrics from the vendorspsila web sites and use a determinant matrix to appraise the trust. Finally, we show how to filter the best vendor by using fuzzy logic.
