Special Session on Rough Sets,
devoted to the Memory of Zdzislaw Pawlak

In conjunction with the International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2011) http://ismis2011.ii.pw.edu.pl/

June 28 to June 30, 2011
Warsaw, Poland

Submission Deadline: February 15, 2011

Scope and Objectives

Rough set theory, proposed by Zdzislaw Pawlak in 1982, has been attracting researchers and practitioners in various fields of science and technology. The interest in rough set theory and applications is remarkable since the beginning, and it is still growing. The ingenious concepts of rough set has been a base for original developments in both theoretical research, including logics, algebra and topology, and applied research, including knowledge discovery, data mining, decision theory, artificial intelligence and approximate reasoning. The latter led to many real life applications in so diversified areas as medicine, bioinformatics, economy, finance, political analysis, chemistry, engineering, environment, and even art and culture.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

Theoretical foundations of rough sets
Generalizations of rough sets
Rough sets and fuzzy sets
Rough sets and granularity
Data mining based on rough sets
Other applications of rough sets
