International Forum on Theory of Granular Computing from Rough Set Perspective
Nanchang in China
July 20-22, 2006
Sponsored by Nanchang Institute of Technology
Granular computing (GrC) is a general computation theory for effectively using granules such as classes, clusters, subsets, groups and intervals to build an efficient computational model for complex applications with huge amounts of data, information and knowledge. Though the label is relatively recent, the basic notions and principles of granular computing, under different names, have appeared in many related fields, such as information hiding in programming, granularity in artificial intelligence, divide and conquer in theoretical computer science, interval computing, cluster analysis, fuzzy and rough set theories, neursophic computing, quotient space theory, belief functions, machine learning, database, and many others. In past few years, we have witnessed a renewed and fast growing interest in GrC. Granular computing has begun to play important roles in bioinformatics, e-business, security, data mining, high-performance computing, and wireless mobile, computing in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, robustness, and uncertainty. These researches are effective results of Rough Set studying in recent years. So, Granular Computing should be the perspective of Rough Set development.
The 2006 international forum on theory of granular computing (IFTGrC2006) will be held at Nanchang Institute of Technology, Nanchang in China. The forum will provide researchers and practitioners a platform to explore the theory and methodologies of granular computing and to develop wide range of applications, such as data mining, soft computing, bioinformatics, e-intelligence, security, distributed computing, quantum computing and etc.
