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 and 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 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:

 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
