Des intervenants ¿uvrant dans des établissements qui offrent des services dans les domaines de la santé, des services sociaux et de la petite enfance peuvent-ils construire un savoir éthique, en s'appuyant sur des échanges portant sur des situations qui les interrogent ? Quelle expérience particulière peuvent-ils alors faire de l'éthique ? Quels en sont les avantages et les limites ? Quelles en sont les conditions de réussite ?

Ordered sets are ubiquitous in mathematics and have significant applications in computer science, statistics, biology and the social sciences. As the first book to deal exclusively with finite ordered sets, this book will be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in all of these areas. Beginning with definitions of key concepts and fundamental results (Dilworth's and Sperner's theorem, interval and semiorders, Galois connection, duality with distributive lattices, coding and dimension theory), the authors then present applications of these structures in fields such as preference modelling and aggregation, operational research and management, cluster and concept analysis, and data mining. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter with helpful hints provided for some of the most difficult examples. The authors also point to further topics of ongoing research.
