                                CALL FOR PAPERS

                Fourth International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis
                          Dresden, Germany, February 13-17, 2006
                          http://www.math.tu-dresden.de/~concept

   We call for scientific publications on theory and applications of Formal 
Concept
   Analysis. Papers of up to sixteen pages may be submitted. All 
submissions will be
   refereed, and the conference proceedings will be published in the 
LNCS/LNAI series of
   Springer Verlag. Authors are requested to follow the author instructions 
as indicated
   in the following Web page:  http://w3.uqo.ca/icfca06/instructions.html.

   Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to 
restructure lattice
   theory to promote better communication between lattice theoretists 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, 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, Linguistics, and Philosophy. Other aspects are 
welcome.

   The organization of the conference is as follows:
