Research activity
Roman Słowiński is a paradigm-creator in the field of intelligent decision support.[5] He has authored or co-authored 14 books and more than 550 research articles, including more than 400 in major scientific journals (Web of Science h=63, Scopus h=71, Google Scholar h=95).[3][5] He has been the advisor for 28 PhD students, of whom 16 have themselves gone on to become professors.[3][5] Aside from the Poznań University of Technology, he has also lectured at the Paris Dauphine University, École Centrale Paris, University of Catania, University of Osaka, Yokohama National University, University of Missouri, Laval University in Quebec and several others.[3][5]
Since 1999 he has been the editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Operational Research .[6] H Słowiński's research is on the topic of using rough sets in decision analysis. He started this work in 1983 with the founder of the rough set concept, the late Zdzisław Pawlak, and continued with Salvatore Greco and Benedetto Matarazzo since the early 1990s. He organized the First International Workshop on Rough Set Theory and Applications that took place in Poznań in 1992.
