For several years, researchers have explored the unification of theories enablin the fusion of hetero eneous information and have finally considered random set theory . This paper first classifies available information by qualities ( uncertain, va ue, imprecise, etc) and then presents common theories that can be used to cope with them. Random set theory is introduced as a possible framework for unification. The reasons why the individual theories can fit in this framework are detailed. Finally , this pa per reviews applications of random set theory in information fusion and discusses the possible directions in the future. Key words: multisource information fusion; random set theory; imperfect in
