Summary: 
In this paper, a new computing paradigm suitable for analog circuit systems is described in comparison to the digital circuit systems. The analog circuit systems have some disadvantages especially in terms of accuracy and stability, but there are some applications that don't require accuracy or stability in circuit component. The new computing concept for such applications, 'inaccurate' information processing, or 'rough' information processing, is proposed and described as well as some examples of such applications.
