Preface
This volume contains the Proceedings of ICFCA 2005, the 3rd International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis. The ICFCA conference series aims to be the premier forum for the publication of advances in applied lattice and order theory, and in particular scientific advances related to formal concept analysis. Formal concept analysis is a field of applied mathematics with its mathematical root in order theory, in particular in the theory of complete lattices. Researchers had long been aware of the fact that these fields have many potential applications. Formal concept analysis emerged in the 1980s from efforts to restructure lattice theory to promote better communication between lattice theorists and potential users of lattice theory. The key theme was the mathematization of concept and conceptual hierarchy. Since then, the field has developed into a growing research area in its own right with a thriving theoretical community and an increasing number of applications in data and knowledge processing, including data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, data analysis and knowledge management. ICFCA 2005 reflected both practical benefits and progress in the foundational theory of formal concept analysis. Algorithmic aspects were discussed as well as efforts to broaden the field.
