Abstract. Lattice theory has become a popular mathematical framework in differ-
ent domains of information processing, and various communities employ its features
and properties, e.g. in knowledge representation, in logics, automated reasoning and
decision making, in image processing, in information retrieval, in soft computing, in
formal concept analysis. Mathematical morphology is based adjunctions, on the alge-
braic framework of posets, and more specifically of complete lattices, which endows
it with strong properties and allows for multiple applications and extensions. In this
talk we will summarize the main concepts of mathematical morphology and show their
instantiations in different settings, where a complete lattice can be built, such as sets,
functions, partitions, fuzzy sets, bipolar fuzzy sets, formal logics . . . We will detail in
particular the links between morphological operations and formal concept analysis,
thus initiating links between two domains that were quite disconnected until now,
which could therefore open new interesting perspectives.
