"This book investigages granular computing (GrC), which emerged as one of the fastest growing information processing paradigms in computational intelligence and human-centric systems"--Provided by publisher.
Yao (computer science, U. of Regina, Canada) assembles 19 chapters on recent developments in granular computing research. Computer science, math, electrical engineering, and economics specialists from around the world cover topics such as granular computing as a paradigm of human-inspired problem solving and information processing, issues of process mining from data and domain knowledge, the technology of hyperboxes and fuzzy sets, relation based rough set algebras, a taxonomy of types of granularity, interval computation, rule extraction and evaluation, granular models, the semantics of rough logic, a granular entropy method in the area of image clustering, and uses in object-oriented software development, formal concept analysis, and web searches.
