This paper introduces an approach for sharing beliefs in collaborative multi-agent application domains where some agents can be more credible than others. In this context, we propose a formalization where every agent has its own partial order among its peers representing the credibility the agent assigns to its informants; each agent will also have a belief base where each sentence is attached with an agent identifier which represents the credibility of that sentence. We define four different forwarding criteria for computing the credibility information for a belief to be forwarded, and for determining how the receiver should handle the incoming information; the proposal considers both the sender’s and the receiver’s points of view with respect to the credibility of the source of the information.
