The Fourth International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT2009) will be held July 14-16, 2009 in Gold Coast, Australia. The conference aims to present state-of-the-art results in rough sets and knowledge technology, encourage academic and industrial interaction, and promote collaborative research worldwide. Full papers on topics related to rough sets, knowledge technology, computing, artificial intelligence, and their applications are due by December 1, 2008. Accepted papers will be published in a Springer Lecture Notes volume.

1. Call for Papers
The Fourth International Conference on
Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology (RSKT2009)
July 14-16, 2009, Gold Coast, Australia
(http://www.usq.edu.au/rskt2009)
Rough set theory is closely related to knowledge technology in a variety of forms such as knowledge
discovery, approximate reasoning, intelligent and multi-agent system design, knowledge intensive
computations, cognitive science and medicine. The cutting-edge knowledge technologies have great
impact on learning, pattern recognition, machine intelligence, automation, transformation,
communication, exploration and exploitation of knowledge. A principal break-through of such
technologies is the utilization of methodologies that facilitate knowledge processing. The major objectives
of the conference are to present the state-of-the-art scientific results, encourage academic and industrial
interaction, and promote collaborative research in rough sets and knowledge technology worldwide. The
4th International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology will be held in Gold Coast,
Australia, July 14-16, 2009. Previously, we have successfully organised the RSKT’08 (Chengdu, China),
JRS'07 (RSKT'07 together with RSFDGrC'07) (Toronto, Canada) and RSKT'06 (Chongqing, China).
Important dates:
Full paper submission: December 1, 2008
