Talk : Algorithmic Aspects FCA

After its birth in the eighties in Darmstadt, many researchers in different fields used FCA as a tool for their applications (such as knowledge representation or knowledge discovery) or as a tool to develop lattices theory. In recent years FCA community has grown, topics have broaden covering theoritical and practical aspects. The number of publications in the field proves the interest in FCA either in mathematics or in computer science. In this talk, we will review some recent theoritical and algorithmic results in FCA. Important topics, such as implicational systems as well as lattices representation, are detailed.
