Abstract: Service reputation is widely used to evaluate service behavior in Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) application that is based on service consumer ratings which are subjective
personal perception for service performance evaluation. As SOA technologies are reused in Web
of Things (WoT) to build service-oriented application for sharing information, cooperating work
and integrating WoT into the existing IT system, it is a crucial challenge that evaluate service
reputation in WoT without heavy interactive query process while devices in WoT are
resources-limited. This work focuses on the research of grey-based representation for service
reputation and rating to deal with the uncertainty in WoT, and the service reputation aggregation
model with the metrics of rater's rating, personal performance, quality similarity and temporal
sensitivity of ratings. The Empirical results show that proposed reputation model can reflect
service behavior effectively and efficiently even a certain percentage unfair ratings in the
reputation aggregation.
