Σύνοψη	Belief Rule Base (BRB), introduced by Yang et al. in 2006 under the RIMER framework, is an expert-system inference methodology that extends classical if-then rules by attaching belief degree distributions to rule consequents. It combines rule-based reasoning with the Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach, enabling the representation and propagation of uncertainty, incompleteness, and vagueness in complex decision problems across engineering, risk assessment, and management domains.	Dempster-Shafer theory is a mathematical framework for reasoning under uncertainty that generalizes Bayesian probability by representing ignorance explicitly. Instead of forcing a single probability on each hypothesis, it assigns belief mass to sets of hypotheses and derives a belief-plausibility interval, and it provides Dempster's rule for fusing evidence from multiple independent sources. Developed from Arthur Dempster's 1967 work and Glenn Shafer's 1976 monograph, it underpins evidential reasoning and sensor/decision fusion.
