Workshop Summaries International Workshop on Rough Sets and Knowledge Discovery Ramin Yasdi Hochschule Bremerhaven An der Karlstadt 8 27568 Bremerhaven, Germany The second International workshop on Rough Sets was held in Banff, Canada on Oct. 10-15, 1993. The research on applicability of Rough Sets has literally exploded in recent years, as shown by the number of papers published on this topic all over the world. Worldwide interest brought 75 people from the East and the Far West to the workshop. The workshop focussed primarily on fundamental research in Rough Set theory and its extension, logic for approximate reasorting, and application of Rough Set methodology. Applications discussed at the workshop included machine learning, medical diagnosis, fault detection, medical image processing, neural net training, and database organization. Workshop presentations were organized into four daily session, each of which contained both theoretical and application papers. The Workshop begin with the invited talk given by Professor Z. Pawlak. He is the inventor of the method and father of the Rough Sets community. In his lecture on "Hard and Soft Sets", he explained the original definition of Set according to Cantor in 1883. He described the idea of approximation which is the basic
