Andrzej Czyzewski (auth.), James F. Peters, Andrzej Skowron, Victor W. Marek, Ewa Orłowska, Roman Słowiński, Wojciech Ziarko (eds.)3540716629, 9783540716624, 9783540716631

The LNCS journal Transactions on Rough Sets is devoted to the entire spectrum of rough sets related issues, from logical and mathematical foundations, through all aspects of rough set theory and its applications, such as data mining, knowledge discovery, and intelligent information processing, to relations between rough sets and other approaches to uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness, such as fuzzy sets and theory of evidence.

Volume VII of the Transactions on Rough Sets (TRS) series is a sequel to volume VI of the TRS. Both volumes commemorate the life and work of Zdzislaw Pawlak (1926-2006). His legacy is rich and varied. Prof. Pawlak’s research contributions have had far-reaching implications inasmuch as his works have been fundamental in establishing new perspectives for scientific research in a wide spectrum of fields. This volume of the TRS series presents papers that reflect the profound influence of a number of research initiatives by Professor Pawlak. In particular, it introduces a number of advances in the foundations and applications of artificial intelligence, engineering, logic, mathematics, and science. These advances have significant implications in a number of research areas such as the foundations of rough sets, approximate reasoning, bioinformatics, computational intelligence, cognitive science, data mining, information systems, intelligent systems, machine intelligence, and security.
