The LNCS journal Transactions on Rough Sets is devoted to the entire spectrum of rough sets related issues, from logical and mathematical foundations, through all aspects of rough set theory and its applications, such as data mining, knowledge discovery, and intelligent information processing, to relations between rough sets and other approaches to uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness, such as fuzzy sets and theory of evidence.
The 1st International Workshop on Digital Watermarking (IWDW), the con- rence covering all aspects of digital watermarking, was held at the Hotel Riviera situated along the beautiful Han River in Seoul, Korea from November 21 to 22, 2002.
The 11th Conference "e;Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, Applications - Semantic Web Challenges"e; (AIMSA 2004) continued successfully pursuing the main aim of the AIMSA series of conferences - to foster the multidisciplinary community of artificial intelligence researchers, embracing both the theoretic underpinnings of the field and the practical issues involved in development, deployment, and maintenance of systems with intelligent behavior.
Affect and emotion play an important role in our everyday lives: They are present whatever we do, wherever we are, and wherever we go, without us being aware of them for much of the time.
Rules - the clearest, most explored and best understood form of knowledge representation - are particularly important for data mining, as they offer the best tradeoff between human and machine understandability.
