===Second Call for Papers=== 7th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA2009) May 21 - 24, 2009, Darmstadt, Germany www.icfca2009.h-da.de Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to restructure lattice theory to promote better communication between lattice theorists an d 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 informati on and knowledge processing including visualization, data mining, analysis and knowledge management. The conference aims to unify theoretical and applied practitioners using Fo rmal Concept Analysis drawing from the fields of Mathematics, Computer and Information Sciences, Software Engineering, as well as diverse application domains such as Linguistics or Life Sciences. Other aspects are welcome. Possible topics include: * FCA theory * Conceptual Knowledge Processing * Concept Graphs * Lattice Drawing * Association Rules * Algorithms * FCA and Software Engineering * Lattice Theory * Data Analysis * FCA and Data Mining * FCA and Logic * Philosophical Foundations ==Submission Details== We call for scientific publications on theory and applications of Formal Concept Analysis. Papers of up to sixteen pages may be submitted in the PDF or Postscript format via the submission site (http://www.irisa.fr/LIS/icfca09/myreview/). For each paper, an abstract mu st be submitted by December 1, 2008. Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for the Springer LNCS style, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. All submissions will be refereed. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference, therefore at least one author per paper has to register timely. The conference proceedin gs will be published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series. ==Important Dates== =09submission of abstract: =09=09December 1 2008 =09submission of full paper: =09=09December 8 2008 =09notification of acceptance: =09January 26 2009 =09camera ready due:=09=09=09=09February 9 2009 ==Organization== Conference Chair: * Karl Erich Wolff, University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt, Germany Program Chairs: * Sbastien Ferr, Universit de Rennes 1, France * Sebastian Rudolph, Universitt Karlsruhe, Germany Local Chair: * Urs Andelfinger, University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt, Germany.
