Abstract

One of the major concerns in the processes which involve human analysts is the existence of uncertainty/inconsistency. In this paper, we propose a model based on belief theory that attempts to capture the degree of analysts' uncertainty towards their expressed specifications and employs these information to create an integrated unique model.

A belief-theoretic framework for the collaborative development and integration of para-consistent conceptual models

Merging and integrating different conceptual models which have been collaboratively developed by domain experts and analysts with dissimilar perspectives on the same issue has been the subject of tremendous amount of research. In this paper, we focus on ...
