The discipline of formal concept analysis (FCA) is concerned with
the form- ization of concepts and conceptual thinking. Built on the
solid foundation of lattice and order theory, FCA is ?rst and
foremost a mathematical discipline. However,its motivation
andguiding principles arebasedon strongphilosophical underpinnings.
In practice, FCA provides a powerful framework for the qua- tative,
formal analysis of data, as demonstrated by numerous applications
in diverse areas. Likewise, it emphasizes the aspect of
human-centered information processing by employing visualization
techniques capable of revealing inherent structure in data in an
intuitively graspable way. FCA thereby contributes to structuring
and navigating the ever-growing amount of information available in
our evolving information society and supports the process of
turning data into information and ultimately into knowledge. In
response to an expanding FCA community, the International
Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA) was established to
provide an annual opportunity for the exchange of ideas. Previous
ICFCA conferences were held in Darmstadt (2003), Sydney (2004),
Lens (2005), Dresden (2006), Clermont- Ferrand (2007), as well as
Montreal (2008) and are evidence of vivid ongoing interest and
activities in FCA theory and applications. ICFCA 2009 took place
during May 21-24 at the University of Applied S- ences in
Darmstadt. Beyond serving as a host of the very ?rst ICFCA in 2003,
Darmstadt can be seen as the birthplace of FCA itself, where this
discipline was introduced in the early 1980s and elaborated over
the subsequent decades.
