Call for Papers The First International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT2006)

Overview Since the introduction of rough sets in 1982 by Professor Zdzistaw Pawlak. we have witnessed great advances in both theory and appications. There has been a rapid growth inresearch and applications of rough sets in Asia, particulary in China. Rough set theory is closely related to knowledge technology ina variety of forms such as knowledge discovery, approximate reasoning, intelligent and multiagent systems design, knowledgeintensive computations that signal the emergence of a knowledge technology age. The essence of growth in cutting-edge, state-of-the-art and promising knowledge technologies is closely related to learning, pattern recognition, machine intelligence and automation ofacquisition, transformation, communication, exploration and exploitation of knowledge. A principal thrust of such technologies is theutilization of methodologies that facilitate knowledge processing. To present state-of-the-art scientific results, encourage academicand industrial interaction, and promote collaborative reserch and developmental activities, in rough sets and knowledge technologyworldwide, a new intemational confrence named Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT) is proposed. It will provide a newforum for researchers in rough sets and knowledge technology.
