Abstract
This paper discusses the implementation of the Distance Learning Algorithm (DLA), which is derived from the Rough Set Based Inductive Learning Algorithm proposed by Wong and Ziarko in 1986. Rough Set Based Inductive Learning uses Rough Set theory to find general decision rules. Because this algorithm was not designed for distance learning, it was modified into the DLA to suit the distance learning requirements. In this paper, we discuss implementation issues.
