Description
Springer Transactions On Rough Sets Ix 2009 Edition by James F. Peters Andrzej Skowron Henryk Rybinski
Volume IX of the Transactions on Rough Sets (TRS) provides evidence of the continuing growth of a number of research streams that were either directly or indirectly begun by the seminal work on rough sets by Zdzis law Pawlak (1926- 1 2006) .OneoftheseresearchstreamsinspiredbyProf.Pawlakisroughset-based intelligent systems a topic that was an important part of his early 1970s work on knowledge description systems prior to his discovery of rough sets during the early 1980s. Evidence of intelligent systems as a recurring motif over the past twodecadescanbefoundintherough-setliteraturethatnowincludesover4000 2 publications by more than 1600 authors in the rough set database . This volume of the TRS includes articles that are extensions of papers in- 3 cludedinthe?rstconferenceonRoughSetsandIntelligentSystemsParadigms . In addition to research on intelligent systems this volume also presents papers that re?ect the profound in?uence of a number of other research initiatives by Zdzis law Pawlak. In particular this volume introduces a number of new advances in the fo- dations and applications of arti?cial intelligence engineering image processing logic mathematics medicine music and science.These advances have sign- icant implications in a number of research areas such as attribute reduction approximation schemes category-based inductive reasoning classi?ers classi- ing mappings context algebras data mining decision attributes decision rules decision support diagnostic feature analysis EEG classi?cation feature ana- sis granular computing hierarchical classi?ers indiscernibility relations inf- mationgranulationinformationsystemsmusicalrhythm retrievalprobabilistic dependencies reducts rough-fuzzy C-means rough inclusion functions rou- ness singing voice recognition and vagueness. A total of 47 researchers are represented in this volume.
