The International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR) is the premier annual meeting of the case-based reasoning (CBR) community and the leading international conference on this topic. We welcome contributions from participants representing all types of affiliations (academic, industry, government) and from all communities applying CBR or conducting relevant research.

Conference submissions are not limited to papers on the conference theme, though the organizers are especially interested in papers that address the theme.

Generative AI and CBR
Generative AI and CBR is this year’s conference theme, directing the community’s attention to the growing pervasion of Generative AI in workplaces, homes, and societies, affecting us all. This year we pose the question:

“What are some roles CBR can play to address some of the challenges stemming from Generative AI’s growing pervasion in our society?”

We encourage submissions and participation from members of the AI and CBR communities—whether they are researchers, policymakers, or practitioners—on the synergistic challenges between Generative AI and CBR. We look forward to a variety of submissions, including position papers, road mapping proposals, as well as traditional basic or applied research papers.

Submission Guidelines
Authors must submit a full paper by the conference paper submission deadline, formatted according to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Papers (submitted and final) should be no longer than 15 pages including references. Please submit papers using the EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=iccbr2025) conference management system.

Multiple Submission Policy

Papers submitted to other conferences must state this fact as a footnote on page 1, and please also notify the program co-chairs by email. If a paper will appear in another conference or journal, it must be withdrawn from ICCBR 2025.

Author Registration Policy

For a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one of the authors must register for the conference by the camera-ready copy deadline. Papers must be presented by one of the authors at the conference live. There will be no video presentations.
