  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a real experiment for building and realizing the physical combination of basic belief assignments associated with two independent, informative, and equireliable sources of information, according to the famous Zadeh´s example. This experiment is based on a particular electronic circuit box, called Z-box, enabling to observe and to check the fusion result experimentally. Our experimental results clearly invalidate the fusion result obtained by Dempster-Shafer´s rule of combination and show that it is physically possible to consider in a natural fusion process two independent and equi-reliable sources of evidences at same time, even if they appear as highly conflicting in Shafer´s sense.
