While few researches on the use of BNs in system rehability and safety analysis take epistemic uncertainty or uncertainty propagation into account, one exception is an interesting work by Simon et al. (Simon et al. 2008) which concerns how a BN can be modified to a so called evidential network to handle epistemic uncertainties. Evidential network is a combination of evidence theory and BN. In this section the basic concepts of D-S evidence theory and evidential network are introduced.
