JEST 2011 - Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence with Rough Sets

Since the introduction of rough sets in 1982 by Professor Zdzislaw Pawlak, we have witnessed great advances in both theory and applications. In order to promote development of rough sets, we are preparing a special issue on "Artificial Intelligence with Rough Sets" published by JEST (International), Journal of Electronic Science and Technology, which is a refereed international journal focusing on IT area. The aim of this special issue is to present the current state of the research in this area, oriented towards both theoretical and applications aspects of rough sets.

JEST invites you to prepare an article or comprehensive surveys for the forthcoming issue. Topic scopes to be covered include but not limited to:

Ø Foundations & Applications of Rough Sets

Ø Data Mining & Knowledge Discovery in Databases

Ø Foundations & Applications of Granular Computing

Ø Rough Set Components in Hybrid Intelligent Systems

Ø Multi-criteria decision related to rough sets

Ø Foundations & Applications of Approximate Reasoning

Ø Soft Computing & Other Current Trends in Computing

Ø Information Retrieval & Domain-Specific Data Analysis

Ø Incomplete, Uncertain, Many-Attribute-Few-Objects Data
