After it has been successfully done in probability and possibility theories, the paper is the first attempt to introduce the operator of composition also for belief functions. We prove that the proposed definition preserves all the necessary properties of the operator enabling us to define compositional models as an efficient tool for multidimensional models representation.
Keywords. Belief function, basic assignment, multidimensional frame of discernment, operator of composition, perfect sequence.
