the goal of this research is gully erosion hazard zoning by using dempster-shafer theory for the garnaveh watershed (golestan province). for this purpose, at first a gully erosion inventory map with the scale of 1:200000 (dependent variable) for the gharnaveh watershed has been prepared using multiple field surveys and satellite pictures. from total gullies 70% of them have randomly selected fo...

introduction environmental impact assessment is a systematic process to identify, predict and evaluate the environmental effects of proposed actions and projects. this process is applied prior to major decisions and commitments being made. environment, social, cultural and health effects are considered as an integral part of eia. particular attention is paid to eia practice for preventing, miti...

Dempster-Shafer theory is one of the main tools for reasoning about data obtained from multiple sources, subject to uncertain information. In this work abstract algebraic properties of the Dempster-Shafer set of mass assignments are investigated and compared with the properties of the Bayes set of probabilities. The Bayes set is a special case of the Dempster-Shafer set, where all non-singleton...

Combiningmultiple sources of information is a major and di cult task in the management of uncertainty Dempster s combination rule is one of the attractive approaches However many researchers have pointed out that the application domains of the rule are rather limited and it sometimes gives unexpected results In this paper we have further explored the nature of combination and achieved the follo...

The goal of this paper is to study the connection between Dempster-Shafer theory and probabilistic argumentation systems. By introducing a general method to translate probabilistic argumentation systems into corresponding Dempster-Shafer belief potentials, its contribution is twofold. On the one hand, the paper proposes probabilistic argumentation systems as a convenient and powerful modeling l...

Although UNIX is considered a very stable and secure platform, the development of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) is essential as current and future generations of hackers are continuously attempting to undermine its integrity. The empirical experiment of multiple simultaneous threat detection system proved that use of hybrid data fusion model of Bayesian, Dempster Shafer and extended Dempste...

Dempster–Shafer evidence theory has been widely used in various fields of applications. Besides, it has been proven that the quantum theory has powerful capabilities of solving the decision making problems. However, due to the inconsistency of the expression, the classical Dempster–Shafer evidence theory modelled by real numbers can not be integrated directly with the quantum theory modelled by...

In this paper, one conflict context reasoning method based on Dempster-Shafer theory is proposed. Firstly the context conflict problems are illustrated and partitioned based on theory of evidence. Then the context model combined with Dempster-Shafer theory is presented and applied to the reasoning method based on Dempster rule of combination. The effectiveness of this method is verified with a ...
