Ann Math Artif Intell (2014) 72:1–2 DOI 10.1007/s10472-014-9410-1 Preface to the special issue on concept lattices and their applications—CLA 2012 Uta Priss · Laszlo Szathmary Published online: 8 March 2014 © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014 The Ninth International Conference “Concept Lattices and Applications (CLA 2012)” was held in Fuengirola (Ma ´laga), Spain from October 11th until October 14th 2012. CLA is a conference series which was started in 2002 and which focuses on Concept Lattices, For- mal Concept Analysis (FCA) and Galois Lattices. FCA was invented by Rudolf Wille in the 1980s as a mathematical modeling of hierarchies, data analysis and conceptual descriptions using mathematical lattice theory. A binary relation (for example between some objects and their attributes) is modeled as a formal context which is transformed into a concept lattice. Because binary relations can be extracted from any relational database or other data repos- itory, FCA has applications in many disciplines, such as data and knowledge processing, information retrieval, data mining, reasoning and software engineering. Since the 1980s, FCA has grown into a reasonably large international research community with two annual international conference series (CLA and ICFCA). Concept lattices can be graphically rep- resented which encourages the
