Preface
The present volume features a selection of the papers presented at the 9th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA 2011). Over the years, the ICFCA conference series has grown into the premier forum for dissemination of research on topics from formal concept analysis (FCA) theory and applications, as well as from the related fields of lattices and partially ordered structures. FCA is a multi-disciplinary field with strong roots in the mathematical theory of partial orders and lattices, with tools originating in computer science and artificial intelligence. FCA emerged in the early 1980s from efforts to restructure lattice theory to promote better communication between lattice theorists and potential users of lattice-based methods for data management. Initially, the central theme was the mathematical formalization of concept and conceptual hierarchy. Since then, the field has de
