Contribution of DSm Approach to the Belief Function Theory
Milan Daniel
In this study we engage in belief processing
which enables managing of
multiple and overlapping elements of
a frame of discernment. Our focus
is directed on DSm approach, which
was originally introduced as a generalization
of the Dempster-Shafer
theory. Paradoxically, later it was
presented also as a special case of
the Dempster-Shafer approach applied
on such frame of discernment.
In this paper we discuss what is new
in DSm approach, what are the benefits
of DSm approach, and what is
its real contribution to belief function
theory.
