Abstract
Trust and reputation are a person's belief over another person and are essential factors while opinion values are shared among online social platforms. Both the values are calculated using past shared opinions and the structure of the network. Further, a credibility score is calculated using the trust and reputation of the nodes, which is helpful to share the opinion values more accurately. In this work, an opinion dynamics temporal network is modelled using the credibility score of the nodes in the network. The addition and deletion of the edges and the opinion evolution occur on the basis of the credibility score of the nodes. Results are analysed over scale-free networks generated using Bollabas et al. model. Such scale-free networks are evolved over time termed as temporal network using the proposed model. It is analysed how the different threshold values on the credibility score of the nodes affect the opinion values convergence on the proposed model.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Complex Networks publishes original articles and reviews with a significant contribution to the analysis and understanding of complex networks and its applications in diverse fields. Complex networks are loosely defined as networks with nontrivial topology and dynamics, which appear as the skeletons of complex systems in the real-world. The journal covers everything from the basic mathematical, physical and computational principles needed for studying complex networks to their applications leading to predictive models in molecular, biological, ecological, informational, engineering, social, technological and other systems. It includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: - Mathematical and numerical analysis of networks - Network theory and computer sciences - Structural analysis of networks - Dynamics on networks - Physical models on networks - Networks and epidemiology - Social, socio-economic and political networks - Ecological networks - Technological and infrastructural networks - Brain and tissue networks - Biological and molecular networks - Spatial networks - Techno-social networks i.e. online social networks, social networking sites, social media - Other applications of networks - Evolving networks - Multilayer networks - Game theory on networks - Biomedicine related networks - Animal social networks - Climate networks - Cognitive, language and informational network
