This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, held in February 2006. The 17 revised full papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers show advances in applied lattice and order theory and in particular scientific advances related to formal concept analysis and its practical applications: data and knowledge processing including data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, data analysis and knowledge management.

This book is devoted to recent progress in social network analysis with a high focus on community detection and evolution. The eleven chapters cover the identification of cohesive groups, core components and key players either in static or dynamic networks of different kinds and levels of heterogeneity. Other important topics in social network analysis such as influential detection and maximization, information propagation, user behavior analysis, as well as network modeling and visualization are also presented. Many studies are validated through real social networks such as Twitter. This...

These technical papers reflect theoretical and practical contributions from researchers of object-oriented databases and software engineering systems. They identify areas of integration of OO and database technologies, and discuss research directions in software methodologies.
