Call for Papers
The Fourth International Conference on
Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT2009)
July 14-16, 2009, Gold Coast, Australia

(<http://www.usq.edu.au/rskt2009>)

Rough set theory is closely related to knowledge technology in a variety of forms such as knowledge discovery, approximate reasoning, intelligent and multi-agent system design, knowledge intensive computations, cognitive science and medicine. The cutting-edge knowledge technologies have great impact on learning, pattern recognition, machine intelligence, automation, transformation, communication, exploration and exploitation of knowledge. A principal break-through of such technologies is the utilization of methodologies that facilitate knowledge processing. The major objectives of the conference are to present the state-of-the-art scientific results, encourage academic and industrial interaction, and promote collaborative research in rough sets and knowledge technology worldwide. The 4th International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology will be held in Gold Coast, Australia, July 14-16, 2009. Previously, we have successfully organised the RSKT’08 (Chengdu, China), JRS'07 (RSKT'07 together with RSFDGrC'07) (Toronto, Canada) and RSKT'06 (Chongqing, China).
