Abstract

The article presents a brief review of the past and the current state of the rough set-related research and provides some ideas about the perspectives of rough set methodology in the context of its likely impact on the future computing devices. The opinions presented are solely of the author and do not necessarily reflect the point of view of the majority of the rough set community.
