===Third 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.
