ICCBR-05: Call for Workshop Proposals
Sixth International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning
Chicago, Illinois (USA)
23 August - 26 August 2005
www.iccbr.org/iccbr05
The organizing committee of the Sixth International Conference on
Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR'05) invites proposals for the Workshop
program. Workshops will be held on 24 August 2005.
General Information
-------------------
ICCBR'05 workshops will provide an informal setting in which
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active cross-fertilization of
ideas. Workshops that explore interactions between sub-areas of CBR,
focus on unique or interdisciplinary applications of CBR, and
investigate newly evolving areas of CBR are particularly encouraged.
Workshops will last about 4 hours. The format and content of each
workshop will largely be determined by each workshop organizing
committee although "mini-conference" proposals are discouraged. To
stimulate interaction and a broad exchange of ideas, ample time should
be allotted in each workshop for general discussion.
As in past conferences, a time slot of about 20 minutes each will be
provided for the presentation of workshop summaries to all conference
attendants during the main conference. These summaries should be
presented by (one of) each workshop's organizers.
Each workshop organizing committee will be responsible for:
1. Producing a Call for Participation for their workshop. It should
clarify the process by which the organizing committee will review and
select the papers and presentations. In addition, the submission
procedure, format, and dates should be included, and be in accordance
with the dates listed below;
2. Review and select presentations and papers;
3. Edit their workshop's notes and send them to the workshop
coordinator (contact details below) in accordance with the dates
listed.
ICCBR-05 will provide:
* A meeting place for the workshop.
* Printing of the workshop notes.

Submission of Workshop Proposals
--------------------------------
Members from all areas of the CBR and related communities are invited
to submit workshop proposals for review. Workshop proposals should
provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance
of the topic, the goals of the workshop, and the size of the
interested community.
Proposals should identify one or more chairs and a program
committee. An example layout for a proposal can be found at the end of
this call.
Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain the following information:
* Proposed title of the workshop.
* Contact information for the proposer, including the names, postal
addresses, phone numbers, and email address.
* A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the
workshop goals and the technical issues that will be its focus.
* A brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
* A draft call for papers.
* A preliminary workshop agenda and schedule for the workshop. This
should include a brief description of how the organizers intend to
conduct the workshop (e.g., discussions, panel discussions, paper
presentations, invited talks or other types of communication).
* If available, a list of interested participants or groups. If a
similar workshops were held in the past, include information about
received submissions and attendance.
* Intended means of advertising the workshop.
* Contact information, including the names, postal addresses, phone
numbers, and email addresses (if available) of the proposed workshop
organizing committee. This committee should consist of three or four
people knowledgeable about the technical issues to be
addressed. Ideally, these people should not be from the same
institution.
Workshop proposals should be submitted via e-mail. Please forward an
electronic copy in pdf format as soon as possible but no later than
February 14, 2005 to the workshop coordinator: [log in to unmask]
(Subject: ICCBR-05 Workshop Proposal)
Proposals will be reviewed by the organizing committee and prospective
organizers will be notified of their decision no later than March 7,
2005.
Other Information
-----------------
Workshop papers should be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is
the format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of
10 pages. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files
are available on the web at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Any special audio-visual requirements and special room requirements
must be arranged with the workshop coordinator (Stefanie Bruninghaus)
by July 24, 2005. ICCBR reserves the right to cancel any workshop if
deadlines are missed, if too few submissions are received, or if too
few attendees register for the workshop to support the costs of
holding it. In special cases, the ICCBR organizing committee may
suggest the consolidation of workshops, to prevent the need for
cancellation.
To cover costs, it may be necessary to charge workshop participants a
workshop fee in addition to the normal ICCBR'05 conference
registration fee. Please, note that all workshop participants must
register for the conference, and that the workshops must be open to
all registered participants of ICCBR'05.
