Abstract
Rough Mereology has been proposed as a paradigm for approximate reasoning in complex information systems [65], [66], [67], [68], [76]. Its primitive notion is that of a rough inclusion functor which gives for any two entities of discourse the degree in which one of them is a part of the other. Rough Mereology may be regarded as an extension of Rough Set Theory as it proposes to argue in terms of similarity relations induced from a rough inclusion instead of reasoning in terms of indiscernibility relations (cf. Chapter 1); it also proposes an extension of Mereology as it replaces the mereological primitive functor of being a part with a more general functor of being a part in a degree. Rough Mereology has deep relations to Fuzzy Set Theory as it proposes to study the properties of partial containment which is also the fundamental subject of study for Fuzzy Set Theory.
