8th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA 2010) 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 an d potential users of lattice theory. Since then Formal Concept Analysis has developed into a growing research eld 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. The conference aims to unify theoretical and applied practitioners using Formal Concept Analysis drawing from the fields of Mathematics, Computer an d Information Sciences, Software Engineering, as well as diverse application domains such as Linguistics or Life Sciences. Other aspects are welcome as well. 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 submissions on theory and applications of Formal Concept Analysis. Papers of up to sixteen pages may be submitted in PDF or Postscript format. Manuscripts should be prepared in LaTeX, using Springer style. For each paper, an abstract must be submitted by October 2, 2009. Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for the Springe r LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
