Information granularity, information granules, and granular computing -- Key formalisms for representation of information granules and processing mechanisms -- Information granules of higher type and higher order, and hybrid information granules -- Representation of information granules -- The design of information granules -- Optimal allocation of information granularity: building granular mappings -- Granular description of data and pattern classification -- Granular models: architectures and development -- Granular time series -- From models to granular models -- Collaborative and linguistic models of decision making.
"Given the nature of the technology, granular computing cuts across a broad range of engineering disciplines. This self-contained book builds upon introductory ideas and provides with illustrative examples that help facilitate a better grasp of more advanced material and enhance its overall presentation. It will be of a particular appeal to those engaged in research and practical developments in computer, electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering. It will be equally well suited for those coming from non-technical disciplines where information granules assume a highly visible position"--
