The Seventh International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing (RSCTC 2010) will take place in the campus of the University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland, from June 28 to 30, 2010.

This will be the seventh edition of the event that has established itself as the main forum for exchange of ideas between researchers in various areas whose research is related to rough sets. In the year 2010 the conference goes back to its origins both in terms of its location and in terms of topic coverage.

The RSCTC 2010 dates also mark the third anniversary of RSEISP’07 – a conference dedicated to the memory of Zdzisław Pawlak. The organisers of RSCTC 2010 wish to connect with RSEISP by terms of topic coverage and spirit.

Rough set theory, proposed by Zdzislaw Pawlak in 1982, has been attracting researchers and practitioners in various fields of science and technology. The impact of the theory of rough sets and its applications is remarkable since its inception and is still growing. The simple yet powerful concept of rough sets has become the basis for original developments in both theoretical research, including logics, algebra and topology, and applied research, including artificial intelligence and approximate reasoning, data mining and knowledge discovery, decision theory, image processing and pattern recognition to name a few. The latter led to many real life applications in diversified areas such as biology, bioinformatics, chemistry, economics, engineering, environment, finance, medicine, political analysis, robotics, and even art and culture. As the rough set concept handles a specific type of data “imperfection” related to granularity of information, it is complementary to other approaches used for handling data “imperfection” such as fuzzy sets, Bayesian reasoning, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, granular computing, statistics, and logical analysis of data. This complementarity is exploited in hybrid approaches for improving the performance of algorithms in real-life applications and data sets.

The biannual international conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing (RSCTC) show cases the state-of-the-art in rough set theory, current computing methods and their applications. It is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners from universities, laboratories and industry, to facilitate dialogue and cooperation.
