In order to reflect the dynamic feature of situations and peers' behavior more accurately, context information, which contains different attributes situations, should be considered explicitly when evaluating trust. A context-aware trust establishment framework based on Bayesian networks is proposed. our proposal, contextual factors are inferred statistically, not assigned in ad hoc way as most existing solutions. We also propose a mapping approach between related contexts help application agents infer trustworthiness an unfamiliar from information other contexts. argue that relevance specific it estimated independent agents' or even fixed frameworks. Our makes measurement implicit together with through networks. Simulation experiments show system can make accurate inferences than systems.
