Preface

This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 10th International Conference on Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining, and Granular Computing, RSFDGrC 2005, organized at the University of Regina, August 31st–September 3rd, 2005. This conference followed in the footsteps of international events devoted to the subject of rough sets, held so far in Canada, China, Japan, Poland, Sweden, and the USA. RSFDGrC achieved the status of biennial international conference, starting from 2003 in Chongqing, China. The theory of rough sets, proposed by Zdzislaw Pawlak in 1982, is a model of approximate reasoning. The main idea is based on indiscernibility relations that describe indistinguishability of objects. Concepts are represented by approximations. In applications, rough set methodology focuses on approximate representation of knowledge derivable from data. It lea
