Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of reduct generation, one of the key issues in the rough set theory. A considerable speed up of computations may be achieved by decomposing the original task into subtasks and executing these as parallel processes. This paper presents an effective method of such a decomposition. The presented algorithm is an adaptation of the reduct generation algorithm based on the notion of discernibility matrix. The practical behaviour of the parallel algorithm is illustrated with a computational experiment conducted for a real-life data set.
