                                   Preface


Formal Concept Analysis is a mathematical theory formalizing aspects of hu-
man conceptual thinking by means of lattice theory. As such, it constitutes a
theoretically well-founded, practically proven, human-centered approach to data
science and has been continuously contributing valuable insights, methodologies
and algorithms to the scientific community.
The International Conference “Concept Lattices and Their Applications (CLA)”
is being organized since 2002 with the aim of providing a forum for researchers
involved in all aspects of the study of FCA, from theory to implementations and
practical applications. Previous years’ conferences took place in Hornı́ Bečva, Os-
trava, Olomouc (all Czech Republic), Hammamet (Tunisia), Montpellier (France),
Olomouc (Czech Republic), Sevilla (Spain), Nancy (France), Fuengirola (Spain),
and La Rochelle (France). The eleventh edition of CLA was held in Košice, Slo-
vakia from October 7 to 10, 2014. The event was organized and hosted by the
Institute of Computer Science at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice.
This volume contains the selected papers as well as abstracts of the four invited
talks. We received 28 submissions of which 22 were accepted for publication
and presentation at the conference. We would like to thank the contributing
authors, who submitted high quality works. In addition we were very happy to
welcome five distinguished invited speakers: Jaume Baixeries, Hassan Aı̈t-Kassi,
Uta Priss, and Ondrej Cepek. All submitted papers underwent a thorough review
by members of the Program Committee with the help of additional reviewers.
We would like to thank all reviewers for their valuable assistance. A selection of
extended versions of the best papers will be published in a renowned journal,
pending another reviewing process.
The success of such an event heavily relies on the hard work and dedication of
many people. Next to the authors and reviewers, we would also like to acknowl-
edge the help of the CLA Steering Committee, who gave us the opportunity
of chairing this edition and provided advice and guidance in the process. Our
greatest thanks go to the local Organization Committee from the Institute of
Computer Science, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, who put a lot of ef-
fort into the local arrangements and provided the pleasant atmosphere necessary
to attain the goal of providing a balanced event with a high level of scientific
exchange. Finally, it is worth noting that we benefited a lot from the EasyChair
conference management system, which greatly helped us to cope with all the
typical duties of the submission and reviewing process.
