In cognitive radios, spectrum sensing plays an important role in accurately detecting the presence or absence of a licensed user. However, the intervention of malicious users (MUs) degrades the performance of spectrum sensing. Such users manipulate the local results and send falsified data to the data fusion center; this process is called spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF). Thus, MUs degrade the spectrum sensing performance and increase uncertainty issues. In this paper, we propose a method based on the Hausdorff distance and a similarity measure matrix to measure the difference between the normal user evidence and the malicious user evidence. In addition, we use the Dempster-Shafer theory to combine the sets of evidence from each normal user evidence. We compare the proposed method with the k-means and Jaccard distance methods for malicious user detection. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective against an SSDF attack.

Based on World Health Organization (WHO) children and adults have a problem with their oral health, such as Dental cavities and periodontal disease. It is not easy to obtain the high convince level of result of the dental and periodontal diseases. Because each of them have different degrees of uncertainty and there have several discounting factors (error rates) in different of survey. To solve this problem we propose the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) for efficient combination of uncertain, imprecise and highly conflicting sources of information. Moreover, we apply the SEFP as a context reasoning. Finally, we make the simulation by using 12 surveys and compare Propotional Conflict Redistribution 5 (PCR5) and Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) to show the belief or probability for the low, a heavy, high and ultra-high risk situation.

Multiple evidences based decision making is an important functionality for computers and robots. To combine multiple evidences, mathematical theory of evidence has been developed, and it involves the most vital part called Dempster's rule of combination. The rule is used for combining multiple evidences. However, the combined result gives a counterintuitive conclusion when highly conflicting evidences exist. In particular, when we obtain two different sources of evidence for a single hypothesis, only one of the sources may contain evidence. In this paper, we introduce a modified combination rule based on the partial conflict measurement by using an absolute difference between two evidences' basic probability numbers. The basic probability number is described in details in Section 2 "Mathematical Theory of Evidence". As a result, the proposed combination rule outperforms Dempster's rule of combination. More precisely, the modified combination rule provides a reasonable conclusion when combining highly conflicting evidences and shows similar results with Dempster's rule of combination in the case of the both sources of evidence are not conflicting. In addition, when obtained evidences contain multiple hypotheses, our proposed combination rule shows more logically acceptable results in compared with the results of Dempster's rule.

무선센서네트워크는 높은 수준의 상황정보를 추론할 수 있기 위해 이질적인 다중센서로 이루어질 필요가 있다. 다중센서에 의해 수집된 데이터를 상황 정보추론에 활용할 때 다중센서 데이터 융합이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Dempster-Shafer의 증거이론에 입각하여 무선센서네트워크에서의 데이터 융합할 때 센서별 가중치를 부여하는 방안을 제안하였다. 센서별 이벤트 발생빈도수를 기준으로 하였는데, 센서별 이벤트 발생 빈도수는 해당 센서가 입수한 상황데이터의 가중치를 계산하는데 반영해야 할 요소이다. 센서별 이벤트 발생빈도에 기초하여 가중치를 계산하였으며 이 가중치를 부여하여 다중센서 데이터 융합하였을 때 신뢰도가 더욱 뚜렷한 격차를 보이게 함으로써 상황정보를 추론함에 있어서 용이할 수 있었다.

위성영상 분류에 관한 주요 주제 중 하나는 분류 정확도 향상에 있다. 동일지역에 대한 동일시기의 위성영상을 취득할 수 있는 기회가 많아지는 현실을 감안할 때, 복수의 위성영상 데이터를 이용하여 분류정확도가 향상된 분류결과를 도출하는 것은 의미 있는 일일 것이다. 본 연구 주제는 최대우도법을 사용하여 계산된 데이터의 사후확률 및 분류 불확실도를 Dempster-Shafer의 증거이론에 적용하여 분류정확도를 향상시키고자 하는 것이다. 분석결과 개별적인 데이터 분류나 데이터간 융합에 의한 분류보다 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 전체정확도와 Kappa 지수 모두 높은 정확도를 나타냈으며, 정확도 차에 대한 검정을 실시하여 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 다른 방법에 비해 우수함을 통계적으로 증명하였다.

A risk-informed regulatory approach implies that risk insights be used as supplement of deterministic information for safety decision-making purposes. In this view, the use of risk assessment techniques is expected to lead to improved safety and a more rational allocation of the limited resources available. On the other hand, it is recognized that uncertainties affect both the deterministic safety analyses and the risk assessments. In order for the risk-informed decision making process to be effective, the adequate representation and treatment of such uncertainties is mandatory. In this paper, the risk-informed regulatory framework is considered under the focus of the uncertainty issue. Traditionally, probability theory has provided the language and mathematics for the representation and treatment of uncertainty. More recently, other mathematical structures have been introduced. In particular, the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is here illustrated as a generalized framework encompassing probability theory and possibility theory. The special case of probability theory is only addressed as term of comparison, given that it is a well known subject. On the other hand, the special case of possibility theory is amply illustrated. An example of the combination of probability and possibility for treating the uncertainty in the parameters of an event tree is illustrated.

Dempster-Shafe 증거이론은 다중센서 데이터융합을 위한 좋은 계산방법을 제공해준다. 이때 기본확률배정 함수가 절대적으로 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 신호를 평가하여 기본확률배정함수를 계산하고 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 센서들이 보내온 신호를 구간별로 변화율을 평가하고 이 평가를 기초로 기본확률배정함수를 정하도록 한다. 센서들이 감지하여 보고한 신호들은 상황발생 요인과 관련 있는데, 시간간격에 따라서 변화하는 신호값의 추이를 평가하였다. 센서가 감지한 신호의 변화는 상황구성 및 병화와 밀접한 관련이 있으므로 신호값의 변화를 평가하는 것은 상황추론에 도움이 되는 것이었다. 이것을 기본확률배정함수 결정에 포함함으로써 사전정보가 없는 경우에 대해서도 상황추론이 가능할 수 있음을 보였다.

In human reliability analysis, dependence assessment is an important issue in risky large complex systems, such as operation of a nuclear power plant. Many existing methods depend on an expert's judgment, which contributes to the subjectivity and restrictions of results. Recently, a computational method, based on the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory and analytic hierarchy process, has been proposed to handle the dependence in human reliability analysis. The model can deal with uncertainty in an analyst's judgment and reduce the subjectivity in the evaluation process. However, the computation is heavy and complicated to some degree. The most important issue is that the existing method is in a positive aspect, which may cause an underestimation of the risk. In this study, a new evidential analytic hierarchy process dependence assessment methodology, based on the improvement of existing methods, has been proposed, which is expected to be easier and more effective.

Since reliability and security of man-machine system increasingly depend on reliability of human, human reliability analysis (HRA) has attracted a lot of attention in many fields especially in nuclear engineering. Dependence assessment among human tasks is a important part in HRA which contributes to an appropriate evaluation result. Most of methods in HRA are based on experts' opinions which are subjective and uncertain. Also, the dependence influencing factors are usually considered to be constant, which is unrealistic. In this paper, a new model based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (DSET) and fuzzy number is proposed to handle the dependence between two tasks in HRA under uncertain and dynamic situations. First, the dependence influencing factors are identified and the judgments on the factors are represented as basic belief assignments (BBAs). Second, the BBAs of the factors that varying with time are reconstructed based on the correction BBA derived from time value. Then, BBAs of all factors are combined to gain the fused BBA. Finally, conditional human error probability (CHEP) is derived based on the fused BBA. The proposed method can deal with uncertainties in the judgments and dynamics of the dependence influencing factors. A case study is illustrated to show the effectiveness and the flexibility of the proposed method.
