IJCRS 2024 : International Joint Conference on Rough Sets

Rough Sets were introduced by Zdzisław Pawlak in the early '80s and developed further as a method of knowledge representation and processing based on uncertain data and incomplete information. Nowadays, Rough Set theory is widely recognized to have great importance in several fields, including artificial intelligence, mathematics, knowledge representation and machine learning, as evidenced by the increasing number of works concerned with its applications and theoretical foundations.

The 2024 International Joint Conference on Rough Sets (IJCRS 2024) will take place in Halifax (Canada) from May 17 to May 20, 2024, and will be hosted by the MSc in Computing and Data Analytics (MCDA) program at Saint Mary's University, Halifax. IJCRS is the principal international conference sponsored by the International Rough Set Society (IRSS).

The IJCRS conference aims to be the main location for disseminating novel foundational results and practical applications, enabling the discussion of problems and exchange of ideas, as well as bringing together academic and industrial perspectives, centred around rough sets and related disciplines (such as granular computing, three-way decisions and fuzzy sets).
