The Theory Models and Approaches of Granular Computing
Daoguo Li, Miao Duoqian · Fudan xuebao. Ziran Kexue ban · 2004
Granular computing is an emerging conceptual and computing paradigm of information processing. Just as a great umbrella,it may be regarded as a label of theories,methodologies,techniques,and tools that make use of granules,i. e.,groups,classes,or clusters of a universe. GrC is a superset of the theory of fuzzy information granulation,rough set theory,the theory of quotient space and interval computing etc, which is a branch of soft computing science. It plays a important role in information processing for fuzzy, uncertainty,partial truth and unnumbered and becomes one of the main study stream in A I. It lays stress on the introduction of the research status,the basic problems and main approaches of GrC. Finally,the further investigation objects are proposed.
