Formal Co ncept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to restructure lattice theory in order to promote better communication between lattice theorists an d potential users of lattice theory. Since its ear ly years, Formal Concept Analysis has developed in to a research field in its own right with a thrivi ng theoretical community and a rapidly expanding r ange of applications in information and knowledge processing including visualization, data analysis (mining) and knowledge management and discovery.\n\n
The ICFCA conference series aims at bri nging together researchers and practitioners worki ng on theoretical or applied aspects of Formal Con cept Analysis within major related areas such as M athematics and Computer and Information Sciences a nd their diverse applications to fields like Softw are Engineering, Linguistics, Environment, Life an d Social Sciences, etc.
\nWe invite scientific publications on theory and appli cations of Formal Concept Analysis. Papers of up t o sixteen pages may be submitted in PDF format via the Easychair system. Main topics of interest inc lude, but are not limited to: Fundamental aspects of FCA, Bridging FCA to information sciences and a rtificial intelligence, and Understanding, modelli ng real-world data and phenomena with FCA. All acc epted submissions will be refereed, and the confer ence proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series.
