7TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE IN CASE-BASED REASONING
Madrid, Spain
30 August - 2 September 2004
http://www.idt.mdh.se/eccbr/
ECCBR 2004 is the 7th European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning following
a series of successful European conferences/workshops. This four-day
conference will be held in Madrid, Spain, hosted by Complutense University.
The ECCBR Industry Day starts the program, followed on the second day by
workshops devoted to specific areas of interest to the CBR community. The
remaining two days feature invited talks, presentations and posters on both
theoretical and applied research in CBR. Announcements concerning these
events will be posted at the website.
Submission Topics:
The ECCBR 2004 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:
* Case and knowledge representation, acquisition, modeling, visualization,
maintenance and management for CBR
* CBR system design issues (e.g., indexing, retrieval, similarity
assessment, and adaptation)
* System architectures and integration of CBR with other methods
* Collaborative agent architectures involving CBR
* Learning and knowledge acquisition for CBR knowledge containers
* Analogical reasoning, cognitive models, and creative reasoning approaches
based on CBR
* Formal, empirical, and psychological evaluations of CBR models and systems
* Methodologies for developing CBR applications
* Lazy-learning, instance-based learning and case-based learning
* Case-based approaches to planning, scheduling, design and robot navigation
* Applications of CBR (e.g., in customer support, education, electronic
commerce, pattern recognition, image processing, legal reasoning,
manufacturing and medicine)
* Adaptive interfaces, user modeling, customization and personalization
using CBR
* CBR-related areas (e.g., corporate memories, decision support, information
retrieval, knowledge discovery, data mining, knowledge and experience
management, software reuse and engineering redesign)
* Computer models of case-based argumentation
* Intelligent tutoring systems teaching or employing CBR
Papers may be accepted for presentation as talks, or as posters.
