                       EWCBR-93 - Call for Papers

		First European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning

			1-5 November 1993

			Kaiserslautern, Germany

===============================================================================


			organized by: GI FA 1.5 (AK-CBR)

in cooperation with: ECCAI, German Chapter of the ACM, DFKI, SFB 314


General Information:

Case-Based Reasoning is a topic which becomes more and more important and has 
raised considerable interest recently. Its various aspects have been elaborated 
from the theoretical as well as from the practical side. It supports knowledge 
acquisition and problem solving, and it is related to key words like 
machine learning, analogy, cognitive modeling, similarity, information retrieval
among others. Although case-based reasoning has a well defined place within 
AI-related conferences, we feel that the topic deserves a workshop on its own 
also in Europe, as there have been such events in US.


Programme:

The scientific programme will include the presentation of selected papers, 
several invited talks, system demonstrations, as well as poster and panel sessions. 


Submission of Papers:

Submissions are invited on research covering all aspects of case-based reasoning
 including (but not restricted to)

- theoretical analysis of similarity assessment
- adaptation strategies
- combination of case-based and other approaches
- cognitive modeling
- case-based learning
- relations between inductive and case-based learning/reasoning
- case-based knowledge engineering
- analogical reasoning
- relations between case-based reasoning and other approaches
- evaluation of case-based approaches
- demonstration of implemented systems
- applications of case-based reasoning

Please, contribute an extended abstract to one of the following categories:

- theoretical results
- practical/empirical results
- work in progress (posters)
- system descriptions (includes a demonstration at the workshop)

Submissions should be made in five copies to the programme chairman.


Important Dates:

Submission deadline:				30 April 1993
Notification of acceptance/rejection:		30 June 1993
Camera-ready-copy:				31 July 1993


Preprints and Proceedings:

Accepted extended abstracts will be distributed as preprints at the workshop. 
Authors of accepted extended abstracts are invited to submit a long paper 
(about 15 pages) based on this. Accepted long papers are published within a book
which will be made available after the workshop.

\subsection*{General Information}

Case-Based Reasoning is a topic which becomes more and more important and has raised considerable interest recently. Its various aspects have been elaborated from the theoretical as well as from the practical side. It supports knowledge acquisition and problem solving, and it is related to key words like machine learning, analogy, cognitive modeling, similarity, information retrieval, statistics among others. Although case-based reasoning has a well defined place within AI-related conferences, we feel that




 the topic deserves a workshop on its own also in Europe, as there have been such events in US.

\subsection*{Programme}
The scientific programme will include the presentation of selected papers, several invited talks, system demonstrations, as well as poster and panel sessions. Tutorials are planned for the first day.
