摘要: A set-theoretic framework is proposed for granular computing. Each element of a universe associated with nonempty family neighborhoods. neighborhood an consists those elements that are drawn towards by indistinguishability, similarity, proximity, or functionality. It granule containing the element. system granules, which available information knowledge Operations on systems, such as complement, intersection, and union, defined extending operations. They provide basis Using this framework, we examine notions rough sets qualitative fuzzy sets.
