A novel knowledge discovery approach based on rough sets and conflict analysis

Rough sets theory can be used to research imprecise and incomplete problems in information systems. Conflict analysis and resolution play an important role in business, governmental, political and lawsuits disputes, labor-management negotiations, military operations and others. This article illustrates the proposed approach by means of a simple tutorial example of voting analysis in conflict situations. The considered model is simple enough for easy computer implementation and seems adequate for many real life applications but to this end more research is needed.
