AIMS AND SCOPE
CLA is an international conference dedicated to formal concept analysis (FCA) and areas closely related to FCA such as data mining, information retrieval, knowledge management, data and knowledge engineering, logic, algebra and lattice theory. CLA provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and students. The program of CLA consists of invited plenary talks, regular talks, and poster sessions. We solicit papers in all areas relevant to the theory and applications of FCA.

TOPICS
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Concept lattices and related structures
* Attribute implications
* Association rules and other data dependencies
* Algorithms
* Visualization
* Data preprocessing
* Redundancy and dimensionality reduction
* Information retrieval
* Classification
* Clustering
* Ontologies
* Applications of concept lattices

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Papers of up to twelve pages may be submitted in the PDF or Postscript format. For each paper, an abstract must be submitted by June 7, 2010. The submission is done via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cla2010. Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for the Springer LNCS style, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Papers will be judged based on their technical merits, originality, relevance to areas of interest, and presentation clarity. Papers should describe original work that has not been published before, is not under review elsewhere, and will not be submitted elsewhere during the CLA 2010 review period. Accepted papers will be published in the CLA proceedings (with ISBN). There are also plans for organizing CLA 2010 post-proceedings as a special issue of a well-established journal.
