We consider uncertain data which uncertainty is represented by belief functions and that must be combined. The result of the combination of the belief functions can be partially conflictual. Initially Shafer proposed Dempster's rule of combination where the conflict is reallocated proportionally among the other masses. Then Zadeh presented an example where Dempster's rule of combination produces unsatisfactory results. Several solutions were proposed: the TBM solution where masses are not renormalized and conflict is stored in the mass given to the empty set, Yager's solution where the conflict is transferred to the universe and Dubois and Prade's solution where the masses resulting from pairs of conflictual focal elements are transferred to the union of these subsets. Many other suggestions have then been made, creating a 'jungle' of combination rules. We discuss the nature of the combinations (conjunctive versus disjunctive, revision versus updating, static versus dynamic data fusion), argue about the need for a normalization, examine the possible origins of the conflicts, determine if a combination is justified and analyze many of the proposed solutions.
