Second Call for Papers

ICFCA 2010
8th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis
March 15 - 18, 2010, Agadir, Morocco

http://w3.uqo.ca/icfca10
================================================================================

Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to restructure
lattice theory to promote better communication between lattice theorists and
potential users of lattice theory. Since then Formal Concept Analysis has
developed into a growing research field in its own right with a thriving
theoretical community and an increasing number of applications in information
and knowledge processing including vizualisation, data mining and analysis, and
knowledge management.

ICFCA is a major forum where researchers from various fields like mathematics,
computer science, life sciences, linguistics and social sciences meet and
discuss latest advances in Formal Concept Analysis and its applications in
various application domains. We invite high�quality submissions on both
theoretical foundations of FCA and its applications in social sciences, life
sciences, software engineering, linguistics, social networks and Web 2.0.


Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- FCA theory
- Lattice Theory
- Lattice Drawing
- FCA and Logic
- FCA algorithms
- Conceptual Knowledge Processing
- Analysis of Social Networks
- Data Mining in Web 2.0
- FCA and Software Engineering
- Philosophical Foundations
- Concept Graphs
- Data Analysis
- FCA in Data Mining
- Association Rules
