This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the Third Inter- tional Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing (RSCTC 2002) held at Penn State Great Valley, Malvern, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 14–16 October 2002. Rough set theoryand its applications constitute a branch of soft computing that has exhibited a signi?cant growth rate during recent years. RSCTC 2002 provided a forum for exchanging ideas among manyresearchers in the rough set communityand in various areas of soft computing and served as a stimulus for mutual understanding and cooperation. In recent years, there have been a number of advances in rough set theoryand applications. Hence, we have witnessed a growing number of international workshops on rough sets and their applications. In addition, it should be observed that one of the beauties of rough sets and the rough set philosophyis that it tends to complement and reinforce research in manytraditional research areas and applications. This is the main reason that manyinternational conferences are now including rough sets into the list of topics.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing, RSCTC 2002, held in Malvern, PA, USA in October 2002. The 76 revised regular papers and short communications presented together with 2 keynotes and 5 plenary papers were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 100 submissions. The book offers topical sections on foundation and methods; granular and neural computing; probabilistic reasoning; data mining, machine learning and pattern recognition; Web mining; and applications.
