Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology : First International Conference RSKT 2006 Chongquing China July 24 26 2006 Proceedings This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the First Int national Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT 2006) organized in Chongqing P. R. China July 24 26 2003. There were 503 s missions for RSKT 2006 except for 1 commemorative paper 4 keynote papers and 10 plenary papers. Except for the 15 commemorative and invited papers 101 papers were accepted by RSKT 2006 and are included in this volume. The acceptance rate was only 20%. These papers were divided into 43 regular oral presentation papers (each allotted 8 pages) and 58 short oral presentation pers (each allotted 6 pages) on the basis of reviewer evaluation. Each paper was reviewed by two to four referees. Since the introduction of rough sets in 1981 by Zdzis law Pawlak many great advances in both the theory and applications have been introduced. Rough set theory is closely related to knowledge technology in a variety of forms such as knowledge discovery approximate reasoning intelligent and multiagent systems design and knowledge intensive computations that signal the emergence of a knowledge technology age. The essence of growth in cutting edge state of t art and promising knowledge technologies is closely related to learning pattern recognition machine intelligence and automation of acquisition transformation communication exploration and exploitation of knowledge. A principal thrust of such technologies is the utilization of methodologies that facilitate knowledge processing.
