Abstract

Information granules and their processing giving rise to the framework of Granular Computing offer opportunities to endow computing with an important facet of human-centricity. This facet means that the underlying processing supports non-numeric data inherently associated with perception of humans and generates results being seamlessly comprehended by users. Given systems that are distributed and hierarchical in their nature become quite common, managing granular information in hierarchical and distributed architectures is of growing interest, especially when invoking mechanisms of knowledge generation and knowledge sharing.
