Abstract
In this study, we present a general overview of Granular Computing being regarded as a coherent conceptual and algorithmic platform supporting the design of intelligent systems. Fundamental formalisms of Granular Computing are identified and discussed. The linkages between Granular Computing and Computational Intelligence are revealed as well.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
