SPRINGER Concept Lattices And Their Applications 2008 Edition by RADIM BELOHLAVEK, SADOK BEN YAHIA
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Concept Lattices and their Applications, CLA 2006, held in Tunis, Tunisia, October 30-November 1, 2006.The 18 revised full papers together with 3 invited contributions presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The topics include formal concept analysis, foundations of FCA, mathematical structures related to FCA, relationship of FCA to other methods of data analysis, visualization of data in FCA, and applications of FCA.
