Lattice Computing: Lattice Theory Based Computational Intelligence

Defining Lattice Computing as the class of algorithms that either construct the computations using the lattice operators inf and sup, or use lattice theory to produce generalizations or fusions of previous approaches, we find that a host of algorithms for data processing, classification and signal filtering have been produced over the last decades. We give a fast and brief review, that by no means could be exhaustive, with the aim to show, first, that this area has been growing during the past decades, and, second, what we think are broad avenues for future research.
