	abstract = {<p>\&nbsp;Trust is an essential feature of any system where entities have to\&nbsp;collaborate among them. Trust can assist entities making decisions\&nbsp;about what is the best entity for establishing a certain collaboration.\&nbsp;It would be desirable to simulate behaviour of users as in social environments\&nbsp;where they tend to establish relationships or to trust users\&nbsp;who have common interests or share some of their opinions, i.e., users\&nbsp;who are similar to them to some extent. Thus, in this paper we first\&nbsp;introduce the concept of context similarity among entities and from it\&nbsp;we derive a similarity network which can be seen as a graph. Based\&nbsp;on this similarity network we dene a trust model that allows us also\&nbsp;to establish trust along a path of entities. A possible applications of\&nbsp;our model are proximity-based trust establishment. We validate our model in this scenario.</p>
