Project Title:	WebTrust: Agent platform for identifying trustworthy commercial websites
Abstract:	This thesis presents the blueprint for such an application including a prototype the can indicate trust levels for commercial websites. The prototype is based on the way people assess trust on websites. This was investigated and formalised into a model. Every user of this prototype has his own agent that has learned what its user finds important in trust. The agent examines the site and returns the trust value the user would have given. When this user wants to have the trust opinion of a friend or an expert he can use his agent too. All the agents will negotiate with each other on the outcomes and supply the user with one uniform result. In this thesis tests have been performed on the quality of these agents and the way in which they should be trained.
