About the Conference

Disseminating foundational mathematical results and innovative practical applications

Rough Sets were introduced by Zdzisław Pawlak in the early 1980s and developed further as a profound mathematical method for knowledge representation and information processing based on uncertain, vague, and incomplete data.

Nowadays, Rough Set theory is widely recognized to have fundamental importance in several fields, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, granular computing, and three-way decision making, as evidenced by an ever-increasing number of works concerned with its applications and theoretical foundations.

In June 2027, we invite you to the 2027 International Joint Conference on Rough Sets (IJCRS 2027), which will take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada from June 8 to June 11, 2027. IJCRS is the principal international conference sponsored by the International Rough Set Society (IRSS).

The aim of the IJCRS conference is to be the premier global forum for disseminating novel foundational results and practical applications, enabling the discussion of challenging problems and exchange of innovative ideas, and bringing together academic and industrial perspectives.
