A Ten-year Review of Granular Computing

Abstract

The year 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of the introduction of granular computing research. We have experienced the emergence and growth of granular computing research in the past ten years. It is essential to explore and review the progress made in the field of granular computing. We use two popular databases, ISI's Web of Science and IEEE Digital Library to conduct our research. We study the current status, the trends and the future direction of granular computing and identify prolific authors, impact authors, and the most impact papers in the past decade.
