PP-RAI'2022

The theory of Rough Sets was founded by Zdzisław Pawlak in order to serve as an efficient framework for data / information / knowledge representation and exploration. Following Professor Pawlak’s seminal paper titled “Rough Sets” published in 1982 in International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences (currently International Journal of Parallel Programming), it is important to discuss the history, the presence, and possible future developments of this theory, as well as its applications. We will emphasize that although the world around us becomes more and more complex - by means of, in particular, growing technological opportunities and big data challenges - there will be always a demand for simple and interpretable solutions.

A special moment of the panel will be devoted to the announcement of the winners of of the PP-RAI’22 contest for the most influential Polish rough set article published in 2020-2021. The panelists and the moderator have carefully examined all 20 submissions to the contest (papers devoted to rough sets or with significant rough-set-related aspects, published in an international scientific journal, co-authored by at least one researcher with at least one Polish affiliation) and will be happy to refer to them during the panel.
