Submission
- For all papers, a one page abstract in PostScript or PDF format
should be received by Sept. 10, 2004. Abstracts should clearly state
the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in
the final paper.
- The electronic submission of the full paper in Postscript or PDF
format must be received on or before Sept. 15, 2004.
- Submit your abstract and your paper via email to concept@math.tu-dresden.de
with ICFCA05 in the subject line. Please include your name and your
full address. In case you have problems with electronic submission,
contact Bernhard Ganter as early as possible (Institut für Algebra,
Technische Universität Dresden, D-01062 Dresden, Germany).
Formatting
- Papers are limited to 16 pages in Springer's format. Final acceptance
will be based on the full-length paper, which if accepted, must be
presented at the conference. Papers accepted for publication will
appear in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series by Springer
Verlag.
- Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for
LNCS style, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
- We strongly recommend the use of LAT E X. Using other text formatting
systems, such as MS Word, may result in technical problems, and it
will be the author's task to solve these in accordance with Springer's
requirements.
Style
The scientific community interested in the ICFCA conferences has many
facets, and this is one of its strengths. But although we appreciate
heterogeneity as a source of ideas, we should at the same time be as
communicative as possible. We therefore recommend the following guidelines
for ICFCA publications:
- It is understood that the basic definitions of the field are common
knowledge and should not be repeated in the presentations or the papers.
The Conference proceedings will contain some tutorial material.
- Authors should not introduce new notions unless there are good reasons.
In particular, they should not invent new names or symbols for well
known notions.
- Both " Concept Lattices" and " Galois Lattices” are
welcome, but the two languages should not be mixed. E.g., one should
not speak of " the Galois lattice of a formal context”, but rather
of the " Concept lattice of a formal context” or the " Galois
lattice of a binary relation”, etc.
- We recommend that those who prefer the term " Galois Lattice”
use the notions of the book by Barbut and Monjardet Ordre et Classification,
Algébre et Combinatoire. Those who work with " Concept Lattices”
should use the notions of Ganter/Wille Formal Concept Analysis.
- Definitions and results which are contained in these books should
not extensively be repeated, but be cited. This also holds for results
and definitions from earlier ICFCA contributions.
