We focus our work on hierarchical medical organizations. The model estimates the reputation of an individual, RTRHIOS, taking into account information from three trust dimensions: the hierarchy of the system; the source of information; and the quality of the results. Besides the concrete reputation value, it is important to know how reliable that value is; for each of the three dimensions we calculate the reliability of the assessed reputations; and aggregating them, the reliability of the reputation of an individual. The modular approach followed in the definition of the different types of reputations provides the system with a high flexibility that allows adapting the model to the peculiarities of each society.}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs\%5fall.jsp?arnumber=6263223}, keywords = {Trust; Reputation; Hierarchy; Quality-Oriented.}, author = {Mart{\'i}nez Sarriegui, I{\~n}aki and Garcia Garcia, Fernando and Garc{\'i}a S{\'a}ez, Gema and Hernando P{\'e}rez, Mar{\'i}a Elena} }
