Abstract :
We apply the notion of trust to situations of document editing, to select the successive editors of the document and avoid unnecessary readings by all collaborators after each modification. Two mechanisms using trust to improve that process are proposed, and compared to the situation without trust. Simulation results suggest that trust can improve the efficiency of the collaborative work.
