*****************************CALL FOR ABSTRACTS**********************************
Rough Sets: Theory & Applications (RST&A)
Workshop at the Joint Rough Set Symposium (JRS2014), July 9th, 2014, Granada, Spain
www.cwi.ugent.be/?rsta.php
**********************************************************************************
We cordially invite researchers to submit abstracts to the Rough Sets: Theory & Applications workshop, organized on July 9th in Granada, Spain, as part of the JRS 2014 conference. The workshop will feature two plenary talks, complemented with talks of authors of accepted abstracts.

SUBMISSION:
A proposal for a talk at the workshop can be done by preparing a one-page abstract using the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science style (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0) and submitting it in pdf format through the EasyChair submission page (www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jrs2014). Accepted abstracts will be published in the form of local booklet.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission: June 1st (hard deadline)
Acceptance notification: June 8th

TOPICS:
The RST&A workshop is devoted to the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of rough sets considered from both a theoretical standpoint and real-world applications. We also encourage scientists from other research fields to participate to initiate discussion and collaboration on other methods of data exploration and approximate computation. The topics of interest include but are not restricted to:

Dominance-based rough sets
Fuzzy-rough hybrid methods
Rough neural computing
Rough granular computing
Rough sets and near sets
Bio-informatics
Computational Intelligence
Data mining
Data security
Evolutionary computing
Expert and decision support
Genetic algorithms
Information theory
Knowledge engineering
Knowledge discovery
Machine Learning
Missing values handling methods
Multimedia applications
Robotics
Web applications
Approximate reasoning
