For anyone interested in applying Dempster-Shafer Theory, I suggest checking out Subjective Logic [1] as well. One of the issues that pops up in DS-Theory is that the traditional method of belief combination tends to assign lots of mass to uncertainty, and thus highly opposed beliefs end up with sometimes counter-intuitive results. Subjective Logic offers an extensive battery of operators for combining beliefs: from cumulative and averaging fusion, to belief constraining, to consensus. I did my Master's thesis on implementing and analyzing the various SL operators, and for many situations, working with SL is very pleasant.
