Although the idea is a relatively new one, understanding and principles of Granular Computing (GRC) has emerged in a different guise in a related field, including details on Artificial Intelligence, interval computing, cluster analysis, intelligence theory of space and many others. Includes chapters covering the basics of granular computing, interval analysis and fuzzy set theory; hybrid methods and models of granular computing, and applications and case studies. Handbook of Granular Computing and valuable is a significant contribution to the literature and will appeal to a broad audience including researchers, students and practitioners in the field of Computational Intelligence, pattern recognition, fuzzy sets and neural networks, system modeling, operations research and bioinformatics.
