An often mentioned obstacle for the use of Dempster-Shafer theory for the handling of uncertainty in expert systems is the computational complexity of the theory. One cause of this complexity is the fact that in Dempster-Shafer theory the evidence is represented by a belief function which is induced
The notion of belief functions is a result of the seminar work of Shafer 1 and its conceptual forerunner-lower and upper probabilities. 2,3 In recent years, we saw a surge of interest in advancing this theory, developing efficient computation algorithms, and applying it to a wide range of business a
It fully formulates an interpretation of the Dempster-Shafer theory in terms of the standard semantics of modal logic. It is shown how to represent the basic probability assignment function as well as the commonality function of the Dempster-Shafer theory by modal logic and that this representation
