The workshop is a relatively informal occasion where you can meet CBR colleagues and exchange news, views and opinions as well as presenting and/or learning about the work of other researchers and practitioners. As in the last few years, the workshop will again be held in Cambridge, jointly with the British Computer Society SGAI AI-2011 conference on artificial intelligence and its applications. AI-2011 is the thirty-first SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence. The venue for the Workshop and AI-2011 will be Peterhouse College. The workshop will run in parallel with the other AI- 2011 Workshops on the first day of the conference. A special rate will be available for those attending AI-2011 on the following two days. SGAI are also subsidising a reduced rate for non-presenting students. A warm invitation is extended also to researchers from outside the UK to submit a paper, or otherwise attend. SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP Paper submissions are invited on any aspect of case-based reasoning. Papers on practical applications of CBR will be particularly welcome. TOPICS OF INTEREST Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: * the theory of CBR * methods for case adaptation, indexing, retrieval, representation,explanation, and provenance * hybrid, agent-based CBR systems * CBR in data mining and knowledge discovery in databases * knowledge acquisition, modelling, and management for CBR * CBR in engineering, design, manufacturing * CBR and the Internet * e-Commerce applications of CBR * CBR and human learning * CBR in software engineering * CBR in healthcare * textual and Web CBR * CBR and the Semantic Web / Linked Data * reasoning aspects of CBR * novel applications of CBR SUBMISSIONS Workshop submissions will be electronic, in pdf format only, using the EasyChair submission system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ukcbr2011 Your paper is required to be in the Springer LNCS/LNAI format, outlined at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Fuller formatting instructions for the final camera-ready copy will be sent with the acceptance notification.
