Abstract
Computational Trust and Reputation models are the framework for measuring trust and reputation in online services,
software and general service provision in the field of computing. This paper presents the adaptation, design and application
of a Trust and Reputation model called ReGret. The advantage of the ReGreT system over other models is that it takes
advantage, among other things, of social relations between agents to overcome the problem that arises from nonavailabilityof information from only previous past direct interactions of the agent. The modular nature of this model is
exploited and the model is applied in the practical scenario of assessing an agent. The system design utilizes UML
diagrams, algorithms and interfaces to show the ReGret model‘s activities using a hotel scenario. Imple mentation is done
using an object-oriented programming language; the Java programming language. Recommendations are also given to aid
further study in computational trust and reputation models.
