RST 2011 Milano, September 14-16
RST 2011 Milano, September 14-16
The RST workshops are devoted to state-of-the-art scientific results about rough sets from a theoretical standpoint. Great importance is attached to informal discussion among participants. A round table concerning foundational and open problems in rough sets theory is included in each workshop.
The third RST workshop will be held at Milano-Bicocca University, Milano, Italy, September 14-16, 2011. This edition will devote special attention to potential relationships between rough sets, on the one hand, and many-valued logic and belief functions, on the other hand. Therefore, the programme committe especially encourages submissions that focus on such relationships.
The scientific programme will consist of three full-length invited talks, a number of shorter contributed talks, a tutorial, and a round table.
Invited Speakers
Thierry Denoeux, Theory of belief functions: introduction, recent advances and connections with rough set theory
Antonio Di Nola, Finite valued MV-algebras: generalities and dualities
Ewa Orlowska, Discrete representation and duality in theories of approximate reasoning
Tutorial
Piero Pagliani will give a tutorial on “The polymorphic logic of Rough Set Systems”
Submissions
Participants interested in delivering a contributed talk should submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages) via the Easy Chair web page at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rst11
