Subject: * "Applications of DSmT"

The combination of information is a hot topic of research especially in the development of complex systems involving imprecise, uncertain and potentially highly conflicting information/data with usually (but not necessarily) human interaction at some higher fusion level for efficient decision-making. Modern multi-sensor systems for tracking, classification, diagnosis, situation assessment, etc. need solid theoretical tools to combine efficiently information in order to reduce as best as possible ignorances and contradictions in a coherent way to help to take proper decision. This task is very difficult and many theories (probability theory, possibility theory, Dempster-Shafer theory, etc) have been proposed to deal with different kinds of uncertainties (randomness, fuzziness, epistemic nature, etc). This presentation will follow a general presentation/overview of DSmT (i.e. the new Dezert-Smarandache theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning) done by Professor Smarandache (Dept. of Math., Gallup Univ, NM, U.S.A.) and will focus on first recent applications of DSmT for remote sensing and surveillance and target tracking.
