There has been recent interest from multiple perspectives in artificial intelligence
approaches based around traces. An important part of users' experience is stored in
traces that record human activity, for example, when interacting with computer systems
through an application, a game, etc.

The opportunity to collect user experience as traces enables reusing those traces in
CBR processes, since such traces capture past user experiences. Therefore, traces
constitute a knowledge container from which a CBR process may build and reuse cases
or traces. The goal of the workshop is to gather and contrast approaches in exploiting
traces for various tasks and domains through CBR.

We welcome contributions in areas that include, but are not limited to, the following:

Collecting traces, building cases from traces
Modeling trace content, trace elements and cases
Connections between trace components and domain vocabulary/knowledge
Provenance information regarding traces
Reasoning via user traces
Learning by observation, demonstration or imitation
Retrieval and adaptation of traces or episodes
Applications (human learning, web search, collaborative work, or other novel application)
Toolkits and/or methodologies for reasoning via traces
Architectures of trace reusing systems
Game playing via reusing user traces
Tools for integrating trace-based techniques and gaming environments
Planning from user traces
Mining traces to find cases
Interactive learning of dynamic knowledge
Explanation from traces
Lessons learned from trace-based reasoning
