Union/intersection vs. alternative/conjunction — Defining posterior hypotheses in C2 systems

This paper discusses the problem of application of the logical operators while defining the posterior hypotheses, that is hypotheses which are not directly created upon the sensor data. In the authors´ opinion the application of the logical sentence operators is constrained to some specific cases, where the sets operators may be applied as well. On the other hand, the sets operators enable to provide much more adequate posterior hypotheses, which results in higher precision of the fusion final decision. In order to present that an analysis has been made and some examples, related to attribute information fusion in C2 systems have been delivered.
