Joint Rough Set Symposium, JRS2013
Halifax, Canada, Oct 11-14, 2013
The 2013 Joint Rough Set Symposium (JRS 2013) is a joint conference of the RSCTC 2013 and RSKT 2013. RSCTC is a main biannual conference of the International Rough Set Society. It is an outgrowth of a series of annual International Workshops devoted to the subject of rough sets, started in 1992. The aim of RSCTC’13 is to show case the state-of-the-art in rough set theory, current computing methods and their applications. It intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from universities, laboratories and industry, to facilitate dialogue and cooperation. RSKT’13 is the 8th in a series of annual conferences on rough sets and knowledge technology. Its aim is to encourage academic and industrial interaction, and promote collaborative research and developmental activities in rough sets and knowledge technology worldwide. JRS’13 will provide a large forum for researchers and practitioners interested in rough set theory, computational intelligence, and knowledge technology.
Invited Speakers: Dr. Eugene Santos, Jr, Dr. Jian Pei, Dr. Vijay Raghavan
Lifetime contribution award: Prof. Andrzej Skowron
Honorary guest speaker: Prof. Aboul Ella Hassanien

Call for Tutorials
Proposals for 90-minute tutorials are also invited on relevant topics. Tutorial proposals less than 5 pages long are invited that identify the intended audience and give enough information to give a sense of what will be covered.
Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Normal length papers should be between 8 and 10 pages, formatted in Springer’s single column format (detailed instructions for submissions are given below). Submitted papers will be refereed by at least three reviewers for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email. Authors of the best papers will be invited to extend their papers for inclusion in a special issue of some journals. Papers reporting original research results and experience are solicited.
Authors may use the online submission system hosted by EasyChair Conference System to submit their papers. If you don’t have an EasyChair account you will need to create one and then login in order to submit your papers. Please read the Submission Instructions before submitting your work in the system.
