Granular Computing (GrC) is a general computation theory for effectively using
granules such as classes, clusters, subsets, groups and intervals to build an
efficient computational model for complex applications with huge amounts of
data, information and knowledge. Though the label is relatively recent, the
basic notions and principles of granular computing, though under different
names, have appeared in many related fields, such as information hiding in
programming, granularity in artificial intelligence, divide and conquer in
theoretical computer science, interval computing, cluster analysis, fuzzy and
rough set theories, neutrosophic computing, quotient space theory, belief
functions, machine learning, databases, and many others.
The 2007 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing(GrC 2007) will be
jointly held with the 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web
Intelligence(WI 2007), the 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2007), and the 2007 IEEE International
Conference on BioInformatics and BioMedicine (BIBM 2007) for providing
synergism among the four research areas. It will provide opportunities for
technical collaboration beyond that of previous conferences. The four
conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet.
Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend workshops,
sessions and tutorials across the four conferences. We are also planning a
joint panel and joint paper sessions that discuss common problems in the four
areas.

Highlights
+++++++++++
The conference will be held in Silicon Valley, California. Many high-tech
companies and several distinguished universities (Stanford, UC Berkeley, etc)
are just around the corner. The highlight of the conference is that a unique
forum consisting of a half-day industry/demo track and free discussion will be
organized to link industries and academics. Leading IT companies like IBM,
Google, Yahoo, etc will present at the conference.
The area now known as Silicon Valley has been a center of technological
development since the 1950's. The name Silicon Valley stems from the early
1970's, when the area had become the center for many semiconductor companies.
While still hosting semiconductor and microprocessor companies, the region now
hosts the headquarters of high tech companies of every kind, including many of
the best known and most prestigious names in personal computers, Web search,
Internet auctions, networking, storage, databases, etc.
