We welcome your participation and contribution to the 2014 Joint Rough Set Symposium (JRS 2014), a joint conference of the 9th International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing (RSCTC 2014) and the 2nd International Conference on Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems Paradigms (RSEISP 2014).
JRS was organized for the first time in 2007 and was re-established in 2012 as the major flagship IRSS-sponsored event gathering different rough-set-related conferences and workshops every year. This year, it will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in rough sets, fuzzy sets, intelligent systems, and complex data analysis. The proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series, and authors of the best papers will be invited to extend their papers for inclusion in special issues of selected ISI-ranked journals. Author(s) of the best paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.
The symposium will be held jointly in Granada and Madrid, two prime locations within Spain. Transport between both venues will be arranged by the conference organization.
We look forward to seeing you in Spain!

* Logical and Mathematical Foundations of Rough Sets
* Fuzzy Sets and Soft Computing
* Fuzzy-Rough Hybridization,
* Generalization of Rough Sets: Covering-based Rough Sets, Probabilistic Rough Sets, Near Sets, Nearness Approximation Spaces
* Rough Mereology
* Approximate, Non-monotonic and Case-based Reasoning
* Granular Computing
* Computing with Words
* Formal Concept Analysis
* Big Data Analytics

* Machine Learning
* Pattern Recognition and Image Processing
* Web Intelligence
TUTORIALS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS
We welcome proposals for tutorials, lasting between 1 and 3 hours, on topics relevant to the symposium. Proposals up to 5 pages long are invited that identify the intended audience and the topics to be covered.
We also launch a call for special sessions on specific topics related to the symposium. We especially encourage proposals on interdisciplinary topics and new emerging areas of interest to the rough set community. Special sessions may not only be an opportunity to bring together researchers in relevant fields, but also to foster the development of rough set theory, granular computing, data mining, machine learning and related topics. The papers will go through the normal reviewing process and session chairs will be involved in the reviewing process. Each session should have at least four presentations. Proposals for tutorials and special sessions should be addressed by email to jrs2014@ctb.upm.es.
IMPORTANT DATES
Special session proposals – January 19, 2014 (extended)
Tutorial proposals and paper submission – March 2, 2014
Paper acceptance notification – April 16, 2014
Camera ready paper submission – April 27, 2014
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Normal length papers should be between 8 and 10 pages, formatted according to Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science style (detailed instructions for submissions will be available at the symposium website).
