In this system, each seller is associated with a type of certification, namely \u201cproper seller,\u201d \u201csuspect seller,\u201d and \u201cselling stolen goods.\u201d The certification level is determined on the basis of a seller\u2019s behaviors and especially on the basis of contextual information whose origin is outside online auctions portals. In this paper, we focus on representing knowledge about sellers in online auctions, the influence of additional information available from other Internet source, and reasoning on bidders\u2019 trustworthiness under uncertainties using Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. To demonstrate the practicability of our approach, we performed a case study using real auction data from Czech auction portal Aukro. The analysis results show that our approach can be used to detect selling stolen goods. By applying Dempster-Shafer theory to combine multiple sources of evidence for the detection of this fraudulent behavior, the proposed approach can reduce the number of false positive results in comparison to approaches using a single source of evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/891954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,25]],"date-time":"2014-11-25T21:01:36Z","timestamp":1416949296000},"page":"1-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Uncertain Reasoning for Detection of Selling Stolen Goods in Online Auctions Using Contextual Information"],"prefix":"10.47654","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"Ladislav","family":"Beranek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Faculty of Economics, University of South Bohemia, 37005 Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"52777","reference":[{"key":"24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10660-006-6954-0"},{"key":"26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1330311.1330326"},{"key":"33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0963-8687(02)00020-3"},{"key":"27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2753\/JEC1086-4415100304"},{"key":"30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10922-005-6264-1"},{"key":"31","series-title":"Lecture Notes in Computer Science","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"238","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-71549-8_22","volume-title":"A proposed data mining approach for internet auction fraud detection","volume":"4430","year":"2007"},{"year":"1976","key":"36"},{"issue":"3","key":"6","first-page":"1","volume":"18","year":"2013","journal-title":"The Journal of Internet Banking and Commerce"},{"issue":"2","key":"9","first-page":"32","volume":"3","year":"2002","journal-title":"Journal of Electronic Commerce Research"},{"issue":"4","key":"28","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1145\/299157.299175","volume":"42","year":"1999","journal-title":"Communications of the ACM"},{"key":"29","first-page":"310","volume":"9","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of Electronic Commerce Research"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eswa.2009.09.034"},{"key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cosrev.2009.09.001"},{"first-page":"446","volume-title":"Detecting shill bidding in online english auctions","year":"2009","key":"38"},{"key":"39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-70760-8_10"},{"key":"40","first-page":"3","volume":"11","year":"2005","journal-title":"Crossroads"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0218194010005018"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/11871637_14"},{"issue":"4","key":"43","first-page":"179","volume":"22","year":"2007","journal-title":"Computer Systems Science & Engineering"},{"key":"22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.elerap.2011.12.003"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4067\/S0718-18762012000100004"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eswa.2011.02.172"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.elerap.2012.02.005"},{"key":"32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-15506-2_9"},{"key":"37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0888-613X(93)90005-X"}],"container-title":["Advances in Decision Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/891954.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/891954.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/891954.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]],"date-time":"2020-09-28T16:10:09Z","timestamp":1601309409000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/archive\/2014\/891954\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,25]]},"references-count":25,"alternative-id":["891954","891954"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2014\/891954","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-3359","2090-3367"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-3359"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-3367"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,25]]}}}
