JRS 2012 - 2012 Joint Rough Set Symposium

The 2012 Joint Rough Set Symposium (JRS2012) is a joint conference of the Eighth International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing (RSCTC 2012) and the Seventh International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT2012). It will be held in Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China, 17-20 Aug., 2012.
Rough set theory, proposed by Zdzislaw Pawlak in 1982, has been attracting researchers and practitioners in various fields of science and technology. The impact of the theory of rough sets and its applications is remarkable since its inception and is still growing. The simple yet powerful concept of rough sets has become the basis for original developments in both theoretical research, including logics, algebra and topology, and applied research, including artificial intelligence and approximate reasoning, data mining and knowledge discovery, decision theory, image processing and pattern recognition to name a few. The latter led to many real life applications in diversified areas such as biology, bioinformatics, chemistry, economics, engineering, environment, finance, medicine, political analysis, robotics, and even art and culture. As the rough set concept handles a specific type of data “imperfection” related to granularity of information, it is complementary to other approaches used for handling data “imperfection” such as fuzzy sets, Bayesian reasoning, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, granular computing, statistics, and logical analysis of data. This complementarity is exploited in hybrid approaches for improving the performance of algorithms in real-life applications and data sets.
RSCTC is an outgrowth of a series of annual International Workshops devoted to the subject of rough sets. It will show cases the state-of-the-art in rough set theory, current computing methods and their applications, and will bring together researchers and practitioners from universities, laboratories and industry, to facilitate dialogue and cooperation.
RSKT is proposed to present state-of-the-art scientific results, encourage academic and industrial interaction, and promote collaborative research and developmental activities, in rough sets and knowledge technology worldwide. It will provide a new forum for researchers in rough sets and knowledge technology.
