The framework and the basic results of Wille on triadic concept analysis, including his Basic Theorem of Triadic Concept Analysis, are here generalized to n-dimensional formal cont...
In this paper we develop a formalization of semantic relations that facilitates efficient implementations of relations in lexical databases or knowledge representation systems usi...
The central concern of terminology, a component of the general documentation process, is concept analysis, an activity which is becoming recognized as fundamental as term banks evo...
Recent advances in data and knowledge engineering have emphasized the need for formal concept analysis (FCA) tools taking into account structured data. There are a few adaptations ...
We apply mathematical concept analysis to the problem of infering configuration structures from existing source code. Concept analysis has been developed by German mathematicians ...
We apply mathematical concept analysis in order to modularize legacy code. By analysing the relation between procedures and global variables, a so-called concept lattice is constr...
The design of a class hierarchy may be imperfect. For example, a class C may contain a member m not accessed in any C-instance, an indication that m could be eliminated, or moved ...
Concept analysis transforms any relation between ‘lobjects” and “attributes” into a complete lattice. This concept lattice can be studied by algebraic means and offers rem...
We combine type inference and concept analysis in order to gain insight into legacy software systems. Type inference for COBOL yields the types for variables and program parameter...
Software systems need to change over time to cope with new requirements, and due to design decisions, the changes happen to crosscut the system’s structure. Understanding how ch...
