Publication Analysis of the Formal Concept Analysis Community

  • Conference paper
Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA 2012)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 7278))

Included in the following conference series:

Abstract

We present an analysis of the publication and citation networks of all previous editions of the three conferences most relevant to the FCA community: ICFCA, ICCS and CLA. Using data mining methods from FCA and graph analysis, we investigate patterns and communities among authors, we identify and visualize influential publications and authors, and we give a statistical summary of the conferences’ history.
