   Call for Participation 


   The fz°bw - Research Center on Conceptual Knowledge Processing
			    invites to the


      First International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis:
			 The State of the Art

		  Darmstadt University of Technology

		   February 27th -- March 1st 2003


Formal  Concept  Analysis  arose   around  1980  out  of  attempts  of
restructuring lattice  theory to promote  better communication between
lattice theorists  and potential users  of lattice theory.  Since then
Formal Concept Analysis has been  increasingly developed as a field of
research  stimulated  by  a  broad  spectrum  of  applications.  Today
researchers  from all  over  the world  contribute  to Formal  Concept
Analysis   and   apply  methods   and   results   of  Formal   Concept
Analysis. Therefore  it is time for a  firrst international conference
on  Formal Concept  Analysis on  which the  state of  the art  of this
promising field of research and application can be presented.

Invited speakers: 
* Robert Brandom (Philosophy; Pittsburgh/Stanford, USA) 
* Claudio Carpineto (Information Retrieval; Rom, Italy) 
* Vincent Duquenne (Data Analysis; Paris, France)
