Samenvatting:

This book is the ninth volume of the Transactions on Rough Sets series. The 26 papers in it introduce new advances in the foundations and applications of artificial intelligence, engineering, image processing, logic, mathematics, medicine, music, and science.

The LNCS journal Transactions on Rough Sets is devoted to the entire spectrum of rough sets related issues, from logical and mathematical foundations, through all aspects of rough set theory and its applications, such as data mining, knowledge discovery, and intelligent information processing, to relations between rough sets and other approaches to uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness, such as fuzzy sets and theory of evidence.

This book, which constitutes the ninth volume of the Transactions on Rough Sets series, providing evidence of the continuing growth of a number of research streams. It includes articles that are extensions of papers included in the first conference on Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems Paradigms.

The 26 papers presented in this volume introduce a number of new advances in the foundations and applications of artificial intelligence, engineering, image processing, logic, mathematics, medicine, music, and science.

Volume IX of the Transactions on Rough Sets (TRS) provides evidence of the continuing growth of a number of research streams that were either directly or indirectly begun by the seminal work on rough sets by Zdzis law Pawlak (1926- 1 2006) .OneoftheseresearchstreamsinspiredbyProf.Pawlakisroughset-based intelligent systems, a topic that was an important part of his early 1970s work on knowledge description systems prior to his discovery of rough sets during the early 1980s. Evidence of intelligent systems as a recurring motif over the past twodecadescanbefoundintherough-setliteraturethatnowincludesover4,000 2 publications by more than 1,600 authors in the rough set database . This volume of the TRS includes articles that are extensions of papers in- 3 cludedinthe?rstconferenceonRoughSetsandIntelligentSystemsParadigms . In addition to research on intelligent systems, this volume also presents papers that re?ect the profound in?uence of a number of other research initiatives by Zdzis law Pawlak. In particular, this volume introduces a number of new advances in the fo- dations and applications of arti?cial intelligence, engineering, image processing, logic, mathematics, medicine, music, and science. These advances have sign- icant implications in a number of research areas such as attribute reduction, approximation schemes, category-based inductive reasoning, classi?ers, classi- ing mappings, context algebras, data mining, decision attributes, decision rules, decision support, diagnostic feature analysis, EEG classi?cation, feature ana- sis, granular computing, hierarchical classi?ers, indiscernibility relations, inf- mationgranulation,informationsystems,musicalrhythm retrieval,probabilistic dependencies, reducts, rough-fuzzy C-means, rough inclusion functions, rou- ness, singing voice recognition, and vagueness. A total of 47 researchers are represented in this volume.
