Introduction
Granular Computing (GrC) is an emerging computational and mathematical theories that involve the concept of granules. A granule can be a sub-Turing machine, a piece of elementary knowledge, or a region of uncertainty, which can be viewed as elements of human intelligence. Though the label is relatively recent, the basic notions and principles, though under different names, have appeared in many related fields, such as neighborhood systems and infinitesimals in the foundation of granular computing, divide and conquer in theoretical computer science, information hiding in software engineering, interval computing, fuzzy and rough set theories probability/possibility/belief measures in uncertainty mathematics, granularity in artificial intelligence, neutrosophic computing, quotient space theory, machine learning, databases, and many others. This special session will give a research forum in which researchers on cognitive computing, intelligent computing and granular computing can exchange their ideas.
