     Call for Papers

     We invite contributions focusing on theory and applications of Formal 
Concept Analysis. Papers of up to sixteen pages may be submitted in the 
PDF or Postscript format. For each paper, an abstract must be submitted by 
October 2nd, 2009. The submission is done online. Authors are requested to 
follow the formatting instructions for the Springer LNCS style. For more 
information about LNCS style click here. All submissions will be refereed, 
and the conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the 
LNCS/LNAI (Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial 
Intelligence) series.

     The conference aims to unify theoretical and applied practitioners 
using Formal Concept Analysis drawing from the fields of Mathematics, 
Computer and Information Sciences, Software Engineering, Linguistics, and 
knowledge management. Other aspects are welcome.

     Instructions to Authors

     Submission

     For all papers, a one page abstract in PostScript or PDF format should 
be received by October 2nd, 2009. Abstracts should clearly state the 
purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the final 
paper.

     You can help the editors by following the file naming suggestions.

     The electronic submission of the full paper in Postscript or PDF 
format must be received on or before October 8th, 2009.
     Formatting

     Papers are limited to 16 pages in Springer's format. Final acceptance 
will be based on the full-length paper, which if accepted, must be 
presented at the conference. Papers accepted for publication will appear 
in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series by Springer-Verlag.

     Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for LNCS 
style, see this link for the details.

     We strongly recommend the use of LATEX. Using other text formatting 
systems, such as MS Word, may result in technical problems, and it will be 
the author's task to solve these in accordance with Springer's 
requirements.

     Style

     The scientific community interested in the ICFCA conferences has many 
facets, and this is one of its strengths. But although we appreciate 
heterogeneity as a source of ideas, we should at the same time be as 
communicative as possible. We therefore recommend the following guidelines 
for ICFCA publications:

     It is understood that the basic definitions of the field are common 
knowledge and should not be repeated in the presentations or the papers.

     Authors should not introduce new notions unless there are good 
reasons. In particular, they should not invent new names or symbols for 
well-known notions.
