AIMS AND SCOPE
CLA is an international conference dedicated to formal concept
analysis (FCA) and areas closely related to FCA such as data mining,
information retrieval, knowledge management, data and knowledge
engineering, logic, algebra and lattice theory. CLA provides a forum
for researchers, practitioners, and students. The program of CLA
consists of invited plenary talks, regular talks, and poster
sessions. We solicit papers in all areas relevant to the theory and
applications of FCA.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Concept Lattices and related structures
* Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
* Knowledge Engineering and Ontology Engineering
* Association Rules, Itemsets and Data Dependencies
* Attribute Implications
* Algorithms for Concept Lattices and Complexity
* Visualization
* Data Preprocessing
* Redundancy and Dimensionality Reduction
* Information Retrieval
* Classification and Clustering
* Pattern Recognition
* Applications of Concept Lattices
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Papers of up to twelve pages may be submitted in PDF or Postscript
formats. For each paper, an abstract must be submitted by June 22,
2012.
The submission is done via
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cla2012
Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for the
Springer LNCS style,
see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Papers will be judged based on their technical merits, originality,
relevance to areas of interest, and presentation clarity. Papers
should describe original work that has not been published before, is
not under review elsewhere, and will not be submitted elsewhere during
the CLA 2012 review period.
Accepted papers will be published in the CLA proceedings (with
ISBN). There are also plans for organizing CLA 2012 post-proceedings
as a special issue of a well-established journal.
