2nd CALL for PAPERS INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON ROUGH SETS IJCRS2017 JULY 3-7 2017 OLSZTYN POLAND Special Session on Foundations of Vagueness, Rough sets and Mereology at International Joint Conference on Rough Sets, 2017 (IJCRS?2017) Principal Organizer & Session Chair: A Mani University of Calcutta, India Organizer & Co-Chair: Lech Polkowski Polish-Japanese Academy IT & University of Warmia and Masuria Co-Organizers: Andrzej Pietruszczak Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland Rafal Gruszczynski Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland Aim and Scope: The main aim of this session is to help with rethinking of the foundations of rough sets, vagueness, mereology, mereotopology, related algebraic logic, granularity and allied areas, improve awareness of researchers about foundational issues and generation of newer approaches to practical problems. The whole session will have two parts with the second sub-session focusing on mereology without explicit application to rough sets. The session will feature both invited and contributed talks. Experienced and new researchers working on theoretical or practical applications in related areas are encouraged to participate. Work on some of the subareas that might be optimal for the first session include: ? Connections between non CEM (classical extensional mereology) and rough sets, ? Connection between mereo-topology, descriptive proximities and granular rough sets ? Both old and new problems in Algebraic, Non classical, Paraconsistent and Dialectical logics for handling vagueness,Granularity and rough sets ? Connections between Perdurantism, Endurantism and Rough sets, ? Theories of Knowledge in Philosophy, Vagueness, Popular Problems in Rough Sets. ? Meaning of Granular Rough Set Algorithms including those for various reducts ? Measures of Knowledge Consistency, Stability, Rationality in rough set related contexts ? Inverse Problems of Granular Rough Sets, Connections with Other Soft Approaches ? Comparative Data Intrusion The second sub-session on "Foundations and Applications of Mereology" will focus on the following: *Classical and non-classical systems of mereology *First- and second-order systems of mereology *Mereology-based theories of space *Mereogeometry (point-free geometry) and mereotopology (point-free topology) *Metamathematics of mereology *Mereology and ontology *Applications of mereology in science and philosophy *Mereology and foundations of mathematics *Mereology and foundations of physics Topics Topics can include foundations of mereology, spatial mereology, proximities, perdurantism, endurantism, mereology and types of vagueness, models of granular rough sets, inverse problems, related algebraic, non-classical, paraconsistent and dialectical logics, algebraic models, theories of knowledge, knowledge consistency, algorithms for various reducts, ontology and existential graphs, functionality, temporality in databases, measures in rough sets, connections with other soft approaches, granularity and related topics. Topics for the second sub-session need not be relate explicitly to rough sets. Important Dates ? Deadline for submitting 10-20-page conference papers: February 28,2017 * 6 -9 page long short paper submission deadline March 15, 2017 ? Notification of acceptance: March 25, 2017 ? Deadline for submitting camera-ready accepted conference papers: April 15, 2017 ? Conference: July 3-7, 2017 Venue: Olsztyn, Poland Website: http://ijcrs2017.uwm.edu.pl/ Submission: Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings in Springer?s LNCS/LNAI series and indexed in Web of Science. In addition, 6--9 pages long short papers/abstracts will also be admitted. Accepted short papers/abstracts will be presented in dedicated sessions and their authors will be invited to send extensions to full papers which after accept will be published in the Journal Technical Sciences published by UWM. Conference Proceedings will contain short descriptions of accepted abstracts. Springer?s guidelines and technical instructions for the preparation of contributions can be found visiting the following URL: *https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs? Papers should be submitted through the Easychair platform, visiting the following URL: *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijcrs2017 ***Please indicate your session during submission at easychair.*** Each submitted paper will be reviewed by three reviewers independently and the decision on acceptance will be based on the results in the scale from -3 (strong reject) to +3 (strong accept) weighted by referees degrees of confidence. In exceptional cases Conference and Program Chairs have the right to overrule the referees decisions. ***There is possibility (to be discussed with Editors) to issue proceedings of the session also as an issue of Fundamenta Informaticae. ____________________________ (see the website for other special sessions) ORGANIZED BY UNIVERSITY OF WARMIA AND MASURIA at OLSZTYN, POLISH JAPANESE ACADEMY IT, OLSZTYN PARK OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNDER PATRONAGE OF INTERNATIONAL ROUGH SET SOCIETY and COMMITTEE ON INFORMATICS of the POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCE _______________________________________ Best Regards A.
