I have a package of code called BELIEF, written in Common Lisp, which implements the Dempster and Kong fusion and propagation algorithm for Graphical Belief Function Models. It also implements the Lauritzen and Spiegelhalter algorithm (actually a slightly more efficient variation) for Graphical Probabilistic Models. Both of the references can be found in the recent book by Shafer and Pearl, _Readings in Uncertain Reasoning_, Morgan--Kaufmann, 1990. The code is available via anonymous ftp from hustat.harvard.edu and beligica.stat.washington.edu (128.95.17.57). They are also available via email from me (almond@stat.washington.edu). As I am actively interested in both maintaining the program and finding real applications of belief functions, I am happy to provide email consulting and bug fixes. The distribution includes both TeX documentation and sample rule bases. > >Jan-Dirk van Dingenen --Russell Almond University of Washington, Department of Statistics, GN-22 Seattle, WA 98195 USA (206) 543-4302 almond@stat.washington.edu
