Granular Computing

Granular computing focuses on formalizing information granules and unifying them to create a coherent methodological and developmental environment for intelligent system design and analysis. This innovative book presents the unified principles of granular computing along with its comprehensive algorithmic framework and design practices. It explores key concepts and formalisms as well as applications. It also emphasizes the need to consider information granularity as an important design asset that helps in the construction of more realistic models of real-world systems and in facilitating collaborative pursuits of system modeling.
