CALL FOR PAPERS



The workshop on "Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems" is part of the Conference ISDA 2009 (http://cig.iet.unipi.it/isda09/).


Rough set theory, initiated by Zdzislaw I. Pawlak in the early eighties, provides
approximations of concepts in the presence of incomplete information. It combines a deep
mathematical apparatus, closely linked to logic, algebra and topology, with a practical
framework for describing and exploiting dependencies in data analysis, and has been
applied successfully, amongst others, to clustering, classification and feature
selection. It also has been fruitfully hybridized with fuzzy set concepts to combine
their mutual strengths into a framework for modelling and handling uncertainty,
vagueness and noise often present in reality.


In this session, we welcome original work
focusing on theory or application of rough set techniques.


TOPICS



The topics for the special session include but are not limited to:



Logical and algebraic foundations
Hybrid techniques: fuzzy-rough, neuro-rough, rough GA, ...
Dimensionality reduction and feature selection
Rough set classification and clustering
Rough set approaches to information retrieval
Rough mereology
Real-world applications
