Interactive Rough-Granular Computing in Wisdom Technology

Abstract:
We discuss the Wisdom Technology approach based on a meta-equation Understanding of interactions is the critical issue of complex systems. Interactions in physical world are represented by information granules. Interactive computations are modeled using the interactive granular computing approach based on the rough set methods in combination with other soft computing approaches. Adaptive judgment allows us to reason about information granules and interactive computations performed on them. In adaptive judgment, different kinds of reasoning are involved such as deduction, induction, abduction or reasoning by analogy. In the approach an important role play knowledge bases and interactions with them. Some illustrative applications of the proposed approach related to real-life projects (e.g., respiratory failure, UAV control, algorithmic trading, sunspot classification, semantic search engine, firefighter safety) are reported. We emphasize the pivotal role of the proposed approach for risk management in complex systems, including the systems supported by Active Media Technology.
