Professor Andrzej Skowron from the Systems Research Institute at the Polish Academy of Sciences
Andrzej Skowron, ECCAI (EurAI), AAIA and IRSS Fellow, Member of Academia Europaea (MAE), Fellow of the CORE Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Member EU Academy of Sciences, Web Intelligence Academy founding Fellow (WIA), Member of the National Academy of Artif icial Intelligence, Advisory Board member of Web Intelligence Consortium, received the Ph. D. and D. Sci. (habilitation) from the University of Warsaw in Poland. In 1991, he received the Scientific Title of Professor. He is a full professor at the Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences. He is an Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw. Andrzej Skowron is the (co)author of more than 400 scientific publications and editor of many books, special issues of journals and volumes of conference proceedings. His areas of expertise include reasoning with incomplete information, approximate reasoning, soft computing methods and applications, rough sets, rough mereology, (interactive) granular computing, intelligent systems, (adaptive) complex systems, perception based computing, and machine learning. He was the supervisor of 22 PhD Theses. In 1995-2009, he was the Editor-in-Chief of Fundamenta Informaticae. He is on the Editorial Boards of many others international journals. Andrzej Skowron was the President of the International Rough Set Society (1996-2000). He has delivered numerous invited talks at international conferences including a plenary talk at the 16th IFIP World Computer Congress (Beijing, 2000), a keynote talk at the 8th Joint Conference on Information Sciences (JCIS 2005) (encompassing 12 individual conferences and workshops) (USA, 2005), an invited talk at the 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2006) and on Web Intelligence (WI 2006) (Hong Kong, 2006), and a plenary talk at the 2nd World Congress on Biologically Inspired Computing (Japan, 2010). He was serving as (co-)program chair or PC member of more than 200 international conferences. He was involved in numerous research and commercial projects including dialog-based search engine (Nutech), fraud detection for Bank of America (Nutech), logistic project for General Motors (Nutech), algorithmic trading (Adgam), control of UAV (Linköping University), and medical decision support (e.g., in Polish-American Pediatric Clinic in Cracow). Andrzej Skowron was on the ICI Thomson Reuters/ Clarivate Analytics lists of the most cited researchers in Computer Science (globally) in 2012, 2016, and 2017. H-index=67 (Google Scholar).
Pioneering research concerning:
(i) Rough set foundations for Intelligent Systems design (e.g. methods based on combination of rough sets with Boolean Reasoning; generalizations of approximation spaces based on advanced reasoning),
(ii) Interactive Granular Computing model as the basis for synthesis and analysis of Intelligent Systems dealing with complex phenomena.
(iii) AI foundations based on rough sets.
For decades, very intensive work for the information society (e.g. member of EB of many journals and PC of international conferences; many research projects, supervisor of many PhD theses).
