CALL FOR PAPERS
8th European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning ECCBR 2006
Ölüdeniz/Fethiye, Turkey
4-7 September 2006
http://2006.eccbr.org/
Paper Submission Deadline: 19 February 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ECCBR 2006 is the 8th European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning
following a series of successful European conferences/workshops.
This four-day conference will be held in the conference center of
the Lykiaworld Resort hotel in Ölüdeniz/Fethiye, Turkey.
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 2006 Program Committee invites submissions of original
research and application papers on all aspects of Case-Based
Reasoning. We especially encourage submissions on new areas. 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 and maintaining CBR applications
* Lazy- (case/instance/memory-based) learning methods
* 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)
* Human Computer Interaction: 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
* Explanations and CBR
* Context and CBR
* Peer-to-Peer Networks and CBR
* CBR in the Semantic Web
Papers may be accepted for presentation as talks, or as posters.
