چکیده
This issue of the SIPTA newsletter brings you a very special treat: an interview with Prof. Isaac Levi, a true pioneer on many themes of interest to the society. Prof. Levi’s answers were so substantial that his interview has been divided in two parts. This issue brings the first part of the interview, where Prof. Levi looks at the genesis of his ideas. The second part of the interview, to appear on the next issue, comments on the reception of these ideas and on open challenges. This issue also reports on the tutorials, invited talks and papers presented at the Fifth International Symposium on Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (ISIPTA). Another happy event to report is the appearance of the society at the Wikipedia, thanks to an initiative by our executive editor, Alessandro Antonucci. And there is also fresh information on the Workshop on Interval/Probabilistic Uncertainty and Non-Classical Logics, to happen in March 2008. Finally, the Software Section describes the essential features of the Statool package, a system that manipulates partially specified probability distributions. As always, if you know of any event or publication that should be of interest to members of the society, please let me know (send a message to [email protected]).

Belief functions have been proposed for modeling someone’s degrees of belief. They provide alternatives to the models based on probability functions or on possibility functions. There are several interpretations of belief functions: the lower probabilities model, Dempster’s model, the hint model, the probability of modal propositions model, the transferable belief model. All these models are un...
