In our quest for machines which are capable of performing non-trivial human tasks, we are developing a better understanding of the centrality of information granulation in huamn cognition, human reasoning and human decision-making. In many contexts, information granulation is a relectionof the finiteness of human ability to resolve detail and store information. In many other contexts, granulation is employed to solve a complex problem by partitioning if into simpler subproblems. This is the essence of the strategy of divide and conquer.
