The 3rd international conference on

Concept Lattices and Their Applications

will be held in:

Olomouc, Czech Republic
September 7-9, 2005

CLA 2005 is hosted by Department of Computer Science, Palacky University

What is CLA?

CLA is an international workshop devoted to both theoretical and
applicational aspects of formal concept analysis (FCA).

Areas of interest include but are not limited to
- foundations of FCA
- mathematical structures related to FCA (concept lattices,
  Galois connections, closure structures, attribute implications)
- algorithms for FCA
- relationship of FCA to other methods of data analysis (clustering,
  association rules, classification, etc.)
- visualisation of data in FCA
- data for FCA (object-attribute data, preprocessing of data,
  conceptual scaling, fuzzy attributes, etc.)
- applications of FCA (knowledge discovery, data mining, information
  retrieval, ontology, etc.)

Papers in the above areas are solicited.

All papers will be judged based on their technical merits, originality,
relevance to areas of interest of CLA 2005, and presentation clarity.
Papers should describe original work that has not been published before,
is not under review elsewhere, and will not be submitted elsewhere during
CLA 2005's review period.
