Three Perspectives of Granular Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
As an emerging field of study, granular computing has received much attention. Many models, frameworks, methods and techniques have been proposed and studied. It is perhaps the time to seek for a general and unified view so that fundamental issues can be examined and clarified. This paper examines granular computing from three perspectives. By viewing granular computing as a way of structured thinking, we focus on its philosophical foundations in modeling human perception of the reality. By viewing granular computing as a method of structured problem solving, we examine its theoretical and methodological foundations in solving a wide range of realworld problems. By viewing granular computing as a paradigm of information processing, we turn our attention to its more concrete techniques. The three perspectives together offer a holistic view of granular computing.

متن کاملINTERVAL ANALYSIS-BASED HYPERBOX GRANULAR COMPUTING CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHMS
Representation of a granule, relation and operation between two granules are mainly researched in granular computing. Hyperbox granular computing classification algorithms (HBGrC) are proposed based on interval analysis. Firstly, a granule is represented as the hyperbox which is the Cartesian product of $N$ intervals for classification in the $N$-dimensional space. Secondly, the relation betwee...
متن کاملA Unified Framework of Granular Computing
In this chapter, we propose a unified framework for a holistic understanding of granular computing. It is developed based on three perspectives, namely, the philosophical, the methodological, and the computational perspectives. The three perspectives lead to structured thinking, structured problem solving, and structured information processing. We argue that the subject of the study of granular...

Brands have been increasingly considered as primary capital for businesses. Thus, the concept and measurement of brand equity has interested academicians and practitioners for more than a decade, primarily due to the importance in today's marketplace of building, maintaining, and using brands to obtain a definite competitive advantage. To now, there have been three different perspectives for co...
متن کاملGranular Computing
The basic ideas and principles of granular computing (GrC) have been studied explicitly or implicitly in many fields in isolation. With the recent renewed and fast growing interest, it is time to extract the commonality from a diversity of fields and to study systematically and formally the domain independent principles of granular computing in a unified model. A framework of granular computing...
