About BFAS
The Belief functions and Applications society (BFAS) was created to promote teaching,
research, applications and creation of knowledge in the
domain of belief functions, their extensions, and the links they can share with other uncertain theories
such as probability theory, imprecise probability theory, probability boxes, possibility theory, fuzzy sets, random sets, ...
The society was born in 2010 at the occasion of the first conference on the theory of belief functions, which was held in Brest, France, with Arthur P. Dempster and Glenn Shafer as honorary chairs and invited speakers.
The organization can use any means or technique adapted to the realization of its goals,
like establishing conventions with public, semi-public or private organizations,
with physical or moral persons. In particular, it supports the organization of a biennial international conference and a
biennial international school both on belief functions and their applications.
