Abstract

Rough mereology is a paradigm allowing for a synthesis of main ideas of two potent paradigms for reasoning under uncertainty: fuzzy set theory and rough set theory. In this work, we demonstrate applications of rough mereology to the important theoretical ideas put forth by Lotfi Zadeh [9], [10]: Granularity of Knowledge and Computing with Words.
