Preface
Volume VIII of the Transactions on Rough Sets (TRS) contains a wide spectrum of contributions to the theory and applications of rough sets. The pioneering work by Prof. Zdzislaw Pawlak led to the introduction of knowledge representation systems during the early 1970s and the discovery of rough sets during the early 1980s. During his lifetime, he nurtured worldwide interest in approximation, approximate reasoning, and rough set theory and its applications1 . Evidence of the influence of Prof. Pawlak’s work can be seen in the growth in the rough-set literature that now includes over 4000 publications by more than 1900 authors in the rough set databa
