About.
IJCRS is the prime international conference sponsored by the International Rough Set Society (IRSS). IJCRS 2016 encapsulates four main tracks which refer to major threads of rough set conferences held so far:
- Rough Sets and Data Science (in relation to RSCTC series organized since 1998)
- Rough Sets and Granular Computing (in relation to RSFDGrC series organized since 1999)
- Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (in relation to RSKT series organized since 2006)
 Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems (in relation to RSEISP series organized since 2007)

Scope.
The objective of the conference is to investigate rough set theory as receiving increasing attention in varied hybrid approaches in different practical fields, with a special emphasis on fostering interaction between academia and industry. Topics may include but are not limited to:
