Enhancing System Analysis by Means of Formal Concept Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematical theory which tries to structure and formalise conceptual thinking. The main research interest presented by this paper is to use it in the very first steps of system analysis. Most of the wellknown methods for object oriented analysis share a common lack: They do not suggest suitable guidelines for the identification of the objects and classes within the modelled domain. FCA helps to structure the information received from domain experts. The output of the application of FCA is a line diagram of a lattice. This diagram helps in the search of candidate objects and classes. After a motivation of the ideas and a short introduction to the basic notions of FCA the approach will be demonstrated using an example.

On the convergence of the homotopy analysis method to solve the system of partial differential equations
One of the efficient and powerful schemes to solve linear and nonlinear equations is homotopy analysis method (HAM). In this work, we obtain the approximate solution of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) by means of HAM. For this purpose, we develop the concept of HAM for a system of PDEs as a matrix form. Then, we prove the convergence theorem and apply the proposed method to fi...
متن کاملRealization of Rough Set Approximation Toplogical Operations Based on Formal Concept Analysis
There is an intimate correlation between rough set theory and formal concept analysis theory, so rough set approximations can be realized by means of formal concept analysis. For any given multiple valued information system, the realization of rough set approximation operation has two major steps, firstly convert the information system from multiple valued one to single valued formal context, s...

متن کاملFacing the Challenge of Generic Hybridity in EAP Research and Pedagogy
Since its introduction to EAP theory in the 1980s, the concept of genre has proven to be a rigorous theoretical construct for a deeperunderstanding of the nature of academic discourse. However, the inherent potential of this concept as a means of classifying and categorizing academic texts has also given rise to what we have called “the misconception of homogeneity”. Criticizing this misconcept...
