The 40th Anniversary of Rough Sets at:
The 3rd Polish Conference on Artificial Intelligence
PP-RAI’2022
April 25-27, 2022, Gdynia, Poland
The Report:
1. Anniversary Panel Session: (The Next) 40 Years of Rough Sets
2. PP-RAI Contest for the Most Influential Article on Rough Sets co-authored by Polish Researchers in 2020-2021
The theory of Rough Sets was founded by Zdzisław Pawlak in order to serve as an efficient framework for data / information / knowledge representation and exploration. Following Professor Pawlak’s seminal paper titled “Rough Sets” published in 1982 in International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences (currently International Journal of Parallel Programming), it is important to discuss the history, the presence, and possible future developments of this theory, as well as its practical applications.
The idea of the panel organized at PP-RAI’2022 was to emphasize that although the world around us becomes more and more complex - by means of, in particular, growing technological opportunities and big data challenges - there will be always a demand for simple and interpretable solutions. At the panel, the following scientists recalled their memories about Professor Pawlak, elaborated on the strongest points of Rough Sets, and discussed the future of Rough Sets in combination with other approaches and technologies:
- Jan Komorowski (Sweden) - panelist
- Witold Pedrycz (Canada) - panelist
- Andrzej Skowron (Poland) - panelist
- Dominik Ślęzak (Poland) - moderator
- Roman Słowiński (Poland) - panelist

Moreover, the PP-RAI’2022 organizers asked the panelists to form the Jury of the Contest for the Most Influential Article on Rough Sets co-authored by Polish Researchers in 2020-2021. The Jury examined 20 submissions to the contest (papers devoted to Rough Sets or with significant Rough-Set-related aspects, published in an international scientific journal, co-authored by at least one researcher with at least one Polish affiliation; papers could be also published in 2022 if their preparation started in 2020-2021). Each paper was evaluated by 3 Jury members. Each Jury member reviewed 12 submissions. Each Jury member marked 3 out of 12 papers with a “star of excellence”.
