  Recent works have investigated the problem of the conflict redistribution in
the fusion rules of evidence theories. As a consequence of these works, many
new rules have been proposed. Now, there is not a clear theoretical criterion
for a choice of a rule instead another. The present chapter proposes a new
theoretically grounded rule, based on a new concept of sensor independence.
This new rule avoids the conflict redistribution, by an adaptive combination of
the beliefs. Both the logical grounds and the algorithmic implementation are
considered.
