Subject: * "An Overview on DSmT for Information Fusion"

This is an introduction to Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) of Uncertain and Paradoxist Reasoning for Information Fusion, which is an alternative to Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence and an extension of Dubois-Prade Theory. DSmT takes into consideration any kind of model (free, hybrid DSm models, Shafer’s model) according to the integrity constraints of the fusion problem, and proposes a new mathematical frame work for information fusion that allows intersections of elements (degree of consensus between elements), can manage uncertainty, highly conflicting information, imprecise sources, and overcomes limitations of Dempster’s rule. DSmT is adapted to static or dynamic fusion applications represented in terms of belief functions based on the general formalism.
