Abstract

This paper is an attempt to clarify the role of Interactive Granular Computing (IGrC) as a computation model through a real life example. The model emphasizes on the consideration that a real cognition about a real physical complex phenomenon and decision making in such a complex system cannot be formalized only being in the language of mathematics.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The configuration of an ic-granule means the collection of physical objects in the scope of the ic-granule as well as the information layer attached to it. Thus change in the configuration of an ic-granule means change in either of its parts.

  2. 2.

    The context when \(Cont_{t}(g)\) refers to a network of ic-granules not containing the c-granule g, is analogous to the situation when a real physical complex phenomenon is controlled by another remote physical phenomenon.

  3. 3.

    \(g_{plan}\) can be read as \(g_{plan}^{0}\).

  4. 4.

    In what sense a plan can be significantly close to another plan is not discussed here, but of course such technicalities can be introduced based on the context and purpose of the problem.
