is proposed for social networks to deal with the problem that it is difficult to effectively evaluate indirect trust value between users due to the context sensitivity of trust. A relevance network on top of trust networks is established by taking advantages of the relevant concepts
and through a comprehensive analysis of network structures and user's trust relationship in each context. Then user's indirect trust across the context is calculated by using the relevance of context. The Model avoids the effect of the trust attenuation on evaluation and the problem that the trust path between indirect users is difficult to find in multiple context and sparse networks
so that relevance networks of user groups can be built
and the evaluation accuracy and reasonableness are ensured. Experimental results on real social networks shows that the MCTE model can compute the indirect trust value in one single context
and is suitable for the prediction of user's indirect trust in multiple context. Comparison with an existing model shows that the evaluation accuracy of the proposed model improves a lot.
