Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to restructure lattice theory to promote better communication between lattice theorists and 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 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 and 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:

Mathematics
Computer and Information Sciences
Software Engineering
FCA theory
Lattice Theory
Data Mining
Association Rules
FCA-based Knowledge Representation
Data Analysis
Data mining in Web 2.0
Algorithmics
Logics for/and FCA
Analysis of Social Networks
Lattice Drawing
FCA and Software Engineering
FCA Tools

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI (Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence) series.
