Belief merging aims at combining several pieces of (possibly inconsistent) information coming from different sources. The goal is to produce a single consistent set of information, trying to keep the most of the information of the sources. A belief merging operator is the responsible for making the belief merging. With this tool you can compare the ΔΣ, ΔGMax and the Δps (PS-Merge) operators.

Belief revision is a central topic in knowledge representation and reasoning. It consists in incorporating a new belief, changing as few as possible of the original beliefs while preserving consistency. Revision always considers new evidence as a better belief. Such new evidence is usually represented in the form of a propositional formula which must be preserved after the revision. Here, the Δps (PS-Merge) belief merging operator is extended in order to consider constraints, and this extension is used as a strategy for belief revision. The new evidence is treated as a constraint so the extended merging operator can obtain the revised belief base.
