Abstract
First I would like to thank Dr. Lingras and Dr. Yao for giving me the opportunity to talk to you this morning and get acquainted again with many friends whom I have not seen for quite a while.
I would like to share with you my own personal involvement in the early development of Rough Sets proposed by Professor Pawlak [1,2]. My talk this morning is definitely not meant to be a review of all the important work done in Rough Sets since then. Another thing I want to emphasize is that I am not an expert in this field at all, but it will become clear to you as the story unfolds that somehow my connection with Rough Sets is not broken during these years.
