Abstract

This paper discusses the granules and granular computing. The granule of decision rules is defined. The inclusion and closeness degree between granules are also defined. A new reasoning model is proposed. The reasoning model may be used in reasoning of expert systems. Granule is thought as a pair $(\varphi, d (\varphi))$, it is the both logic and set theory. Where $\varphi$ may be a formula in rough logic or in classical logic or in any non-standard logic, $d(\varphi)$ is the interpretation domain of formula $\varphi$, The pair $(\varphi, d(\varphi))$ is called an elementary granule. Finally, the validity and feasibility of the reasoning model are illustrated with real examples. Related theorems and its proofs are discussed.
