Fourth International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
30 July - 2 August 2001
www.iccbr.org/iccbr01
ICCBR'01 is the preeminent international meeting on case-based
reasoning. This four-day conference will be held at Simon Fraser
University's campus in Vancouver, immediately prior to IJCAI'01 (which
will be held in nearby Seattle).
The four-day program will include separate days devoted to workshops
and to the Second Workshop on Innovative Customer-Centered
Applications, formally known as "ICCBR Industry Day". Announcements
concerning these events are being distributed and are posted at the
ICCBR'01 website.
Submission Topics:
The ICCBR'01 Program Committee invites submissions of original
research and application papers on all aspects of Case-Based
Reasoning. Example submission areas include, but are not limited to:
* CBR system design issues (e.g., retrieval, similarity assessment,
adaptation, and indexing)
* Case and knowledge representation, acquisition, modeling, maintenance,
and management for CBR
* Case-based approaches for planning, scheduling, and design
* System architectures and integration of CBR with other methods
* Case-based and lazy/instance-based learning, index learning, and
integration with other learning methods
* Collaborative agent architectures involving CBR
* Adaptive interfaces, user modeling and visualization techniques
for/using CBR
* Analogical reasoning, cognitive models, and creative reasoning
approaches based on CBR
* CBR-related areas (e.g., corporate memories, decision support,
intelligent retrieval, networked information discovery, software
reuse)
* Applications of CBR (e.g., in customer support, education,
electronic commerce, image processing, legal reasoning, knowledge
management, manufacturing, medicine, natural language processing,
quality management, robotics/navigation, WWW)
* Formal, empirical, and psychological evaluations of CBR models and
systems
* Methodologies for developing CBR applications
Papers may be accepted for presentation as talks, as part of a
panel, or as posters.

All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings
published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence series (www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).

*application* papers and will be reviewed using criteria
appropriate to their category. Review criteria for research papers

Electronic paper submissions and title pages may be submitted by
FTP or be sent by email to [log in to unmask] The title
page may also be submitted using an online form at
www.iccbr.org/iccbr01/titleform.html.
Note: Since Springer's LNCS/LNAI series is now published in parallel
in both paper and electronic formats all papers submitted to ICCBR'01
must be submitted in electronic format.
Submission Format:
Papers MUST be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the
format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of
15 pages. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro
files are available on the web at
www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even if you are familiar with Springer's LNCS
format please revisit their web site as the LNCS format has
recently changed.
All authors of accepted papers must transfer their copyrights to
Springer.
Multiple Submission Policy:
Papers submitted to other conferences or journals must state this
fact on the title page. If a paper will appear in another
conference or journal, it must be withdrawn from ICCBR'01 before
6 April 2001. This restriction does not apply to papers
appearing in proceedings of specialized workshops.
Author Registration Policy:
In order for a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one of
the authors must register for the conference by the deadline for
camera-ready copy (11 May 2001).
Conference Information:
All information regarding ICCBR'01 will be maintained at the
conference website: www.iccbr.org/iccbr01. Social events will
include a hike prior to the conference, an opening reception, a

schedule will be developed for family members and other visitors
accompanying conference attendees.
