Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposed research facilitated by the Overseas Travel Grant will contribute to the improved understanding of human-centred information processing by developing an integrative framework of Granular Modelling. Starting from the results of the recently accomplished collaborative research project concerning the foundations of Granular Computing, we will focus on the investigation of information abstractions (granules) as the basic building blocks of human-centred models. The research will take advantage of the outcomes of individual research projects that are currently underway in the collaborating institutions: the Simulation and Modelling group at the Nottingham Trent University (SM-NTU) and the Computer Engineering group at the University of Alberta (CE-UofA).The project contributes to a long-term target of developing a comprehensive granular system design environment. The two specific aspects of such an investigation are: (i) development of a comprehensive suite of algorithms aimed at building and modifying (adapting and evolving) granular models, and (ii) analysis of granular models as an enabling technology of problem solving.The combined experience of the investigators with building granular models in diverse application areas will support the breadth of empirical base while the shared research track record with Granular Computing will provide a firm theoretical underpinning.
