Transactions on Rough Sets X (Lecture Notes in Computer Science / Transactions on Rough Sets) Review
The LNCS journal Transactions on Rough Sets is devoted to the entire spectrum of rough sets related issues, from logical and mathematical foundations, through all aspects of rough set theory and its applications, such as data mining, knowledge discovery, and intelligent information processing, to relations between rough sets and other approaches to uncertainty, vagueness, and incompleteness, such as fuzzy sets and theory of evidence. This book, which constitutes the tenth volume of the Transactions on Rough Sets series, provides evidence of further growth in the rough set landscape, both in terms of its foundations and its applications. The 8 papers presented in this volume focus on a number of research streams that were either directly or indirectly begun by the seminal work on rough sets by Zdzislaw Pawlak. The latest advances in the field of rough sets have significant implications for a number of research areas such as entailment and approximation operators, extensions of information systems, information entropy and granulation, lattices, multicriteria attractiveness evaluation of decision and association rules, ontological systems, rough approximation, and rough geometry in image analysis.

Applications of Databases: First International Conference, ADB-94, Vadstena, Sweden, June 21 Review
This volume presents the proceedings of the First International Conference on Applications of Databases, ADB-94, held at Vadstena, Sweden in June 1994. ADB-94 provided a unique platform for the discussion of innovative applications of databases among database researchers, developers and application designers. The 28 refereed papers were carefully selected from more than 100 submissions. They report on DB applications, for example in air traffic, modelling, maps, environment, finance, engineering, electronic publishing, and digital libraries, and they are devoted to advanced database services, as for example image text and multimedia modelling, fuzzy set based querying, knowledge management, heterogeneous multidatabase management, and intelligent networks.
