ECCBR 2002 is the 6th European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning.
This four-day conference will be held at The Robert Gordon University
in Scotland's granite city, Aberdeen. The program will start with the
ECCBR Industry Day and workshops, followed by the three day conference
of 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'02 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.,indexing, retrieval, similarity
assessment, and adaptation)
* Case and knowledge representation, acquisition, modeling,
visualisation, maintenance, and management for CBR
* System architectures and integration of CBR with other methods
* Collaborative CBR
* Learning and knowledge acquisition for CBR knowledge containers
* Analogical reasoning, and creative reasoning approaches based on CBR
* CBR-related areas (e.g., corporate memories, decision support,
information retrieval, knowledge discovery, data mining, software
reuse and engineering redesign)
* Lazy learning, instance-based learning, and case-based learning
* Applications of CBR (e.g., customisation and personalisation,
education, e-commerce, pattern recognition, image processing,
knowledge
management, manufacturing, medicine, web technologies, planning and
scheduling)
* Formal, empirical, and psychological evaluations of CBR models
* Methodologies for developing CBR applications
Papers may be accepted for presentation as talks, as part of a
panel, or as posters.
