Abstract: In this paper Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is used as a means 
to analyse afield of research using published academic papers as its 
input. In particular results are presented based on a case study of 47 
academic papers in a scientific field of study. The analysis includes 
inferences about the field of study based on the domain background 
knowledge derived from the ISO12207 software engineering standard. 
Additionally, a number of alternative classifications based on the target 
application language and the reported application size are introduced. FCA 
reveals useful insights about the nature of the subject matter: 
identifying fruitful areas of research as well as producing details about 
characteristics of the community under examination.
