# Overview
<br>
<br>
Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to
restructure lattice theory in order to promote better
communication between lattice theorists and potential users of
lattice theory. Since its early years, Formal Concept Analysis has
developed into a research field in its own right with a thriving
theoretical community and a rapidly expanding range of
applications in information and knowledge processing including
visualization, data analysis (mining) and knowledge management and
discovery.
<br>
<br>
The ICFCA conference series aims at bringing together researchers
and practitioners working on theoretical or applied aspects of
Formal Concept Analysis within major related areas such as
Mathematics and Computer and Information Sciences and their
diverse applications to fields like Software Engineering,
Linguistics, Life and Social Sciences, etc.
<br>
<br>
All accepted submissions will be refereed, and the conference
proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series.

# Topics
<br>
<br>
Main topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
<br>
<br>
## Fundamental aspects of FCA
<br>
<br>
- FCA theory
<br>
- Lattice theory
<br>
- Lattice drawing
<br>
- Philosophical foundations
<br>

<br>
<br>
## Bridging FCA to information sciences and artificial
intelligence
<br>
<br>
- FCA and logic, e.g., semantic web, description logics
<br>
- FCA and conceptual structures, e.g., concept graphs, knowledge
spaces
<br>

<br>
<br>
## Understanding, modelling real-world data and phenomena with FCA
<br>
<br>
- Analysis of "big data" with FCA, e.g., sampling, parallel
computing
<br>
- Analysis of social networks and their dynamics
<br>
- Applications for scientific data analysis, e.g., in biology or
health care
<br>
- Applications for sensors data and user interactions traces
<br>
- Other FCA applications
<br>
<br>
# Submission Details
<br>
<br>
We invite scientific publications on theory and applications of
Formal Concept Analysis. Papers of up to sixteen pages may be
submitted in the PDF format. This year, the conference uses the
Springer EquinOCS platform as a submission system for the first
time.
