Overview
Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to restructurelattice theory in order to promote better communication between latticetheorists and potential users of lattice theory. Since its early years, FormalConcept Analysis has developed into a research field in its own right with athriving theoretical community and a rapidly expanding range of applications ininformation and knowledge processing including visualization, data analysis(mining) and knowledge management and discovery.
The ICFCA conference series aims at bringing together researchers andpractitioners working on theoretical or applied aspects of Formal ConceptAnalysis within major related areas such as Mathematics and Computer andInformation Sciences and their diverse applications to fields like SoftwareEngineering, Linguistics, Life and Social Sciences, etc.
All accepted submissions will be refereed, and the conference proceedings willbe published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series.
