Incomplete Information System and Rough Set Theory: Models And Attribute Re-ductions provides evidence of present growth in the rough set approach to the incom-plete information system. The topics discussed in this book have received significant attentions in recent years because researchers can apply new tools for problem solv-ing. This book reflects a number of approaches those were either directly or indirectly begun by the seminal work on rough set by Zdzislaw Pawlak. It is well-know that the knowledge representation system or the so-called infor-mation system plays a crucial role in Pawlak's rough set theory. Evidence of the growth of various rough set-based research streams can be found in the rough set databasel. However, in many practical applications, since the difficulties of acquisi-tions of knowledge, incomplete instead of the complete information systems can be seen everywhere. Therefore, how to employ the rough set approach to deal with the incomplete information systems is very important to the development of the rough set theory.
