Pawlak’s Landscaping with Rough Sets

  • Chapter
Transactions on Rough Sets VI

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TRS,volume 4374))

Abstract

This paper reviews, rather non-technically, Pawlak’s approach to vagueness through rough sets and looks for a foundation of rough sets in an early work of Obtułowicz. An extension of Obtułowicz’s proposal is suggested that in turn, hints at a unified approach to rough sets and fuzzy sets.
