AN INTRODUCTION TO DSmT - Second part
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 3
Abstract
The management and combination of uncertain, imprecise, fuzzy and even paradoxical or highly conflicting sources of information has always been, and still remains today, of primal importance for the development of reliable modern information systems involving artificial reasoning. In this introduction, we present a survey of our recent theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT), developed for dealing with imprecise, uncertain and conflicting sources of information. We focus our presentation on the foundations of DSmT and on its most important rules of combination, rather than on browsing specific applications of DSmT available in literature. Several simple examples are given throughout this presentation to show the efficiency and the generality of this new theory.

BUILDING UP HIGH QUALITY ROADMAP USING VERTEX CLASSIFICATION BASED INCREMENTAL PATH PLANNER
Poor quality roadmaps can lead to in-optimal paths and lengthy path planning processes. Incremental path planners allow undesired vertices of the newly developed components to be removed when updating the existing roadma...
ADVANCED STRATEGIES FOR INVESTIGATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Due to several pressing matters like the drastic reduction in pollutant emissions and fuel consumption, as well as the need to increase the thermal efficiency, the research in the field of internal combustion engines run...
MECHANICAL WORK REDUCTION DURING MANIPULATION TASKS OF A PLANAR 3-DOF MANIPULATOR
The problem addressed in this paper concerns a planar 3-DOF manipulator operating in horizontal plane, that must move from an initial position characterized by angles θ1(0), θ2(0) and θ3(0) to a required final position c...
