The 1st International Joint Conference on Conceptual Knowledge 
Structures (CONCEPTS) is a merger of the three conferences CLA, ICCS, 
and ICFCA, which have been essential venues for researchers and 
practitioners working on theoretical and applied aspects of formal 
concept analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge, as well as 
closely related areas, such as data mining, information retrieval, 
knowledge management and discovery.


This new conference aims to continue the tradition and standards of 
previous conferences and become a key annual meeting to take along all 
members of the three communities of CLA, ICCS, and ICFCA and to keep 
abreast of the advances and new challenges in the field.


Main topics include but are not limited to


- Formal concept analysis: concept lattices, implications, algorithms 
and computational complexity

- Conceptual graphs, graph-based models for human reasoning

- Knowledge spaces and learning spaces

- Ontologies, semantic web, knowledge graphs

- Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics

- Conceptual knowledge acquisition and management

- Conceptual knowledge discovery, data analysis, and visualization

- Probabilistic approaches to conceptual knowledge representation and 
knowledge discovery

- Approximation techniques in application to conceptual structures

- Bridging conceptual structures to information sciences, artificial 
intelligence, data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, 
database theory, software engineering, and other areas of computer science

- Understanding real-world data and modeling real-world phenomena with 
conceptual structures


Submission details:


Submissions are invited on significant, original (previously 
unpublished) research on the topics of the conference:

  *

    journal-track papers up to 26 pages, to be published in a special
    issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR)
    <https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/international-journal-of-approximate-reasoning>;


  *

    regular papers up to 16 pages and short papers up to 8 pages, to be
    published by Springer in the LNAI series as a proceedings volume.
