This contribution deals with a belief processing which enables managing of multiple and overlapping elements of a frame of discernment. An outline of the Dempster-Shafer theory for such cases is presented, including several types of constraints for simplification of its large computational complexity. DSmT — a new theory rapidly developing the last five years — is briefly introduced. Finally, i...
