Call for Papers: 25th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning

The ICCBR 2017 Organizers and Program Committee invites submissions of original theoretical research, applied research and deployed application papers on all aspects of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). ICCBR is the premier, annual meeting of the CBR community and the leading international conference on this topic. The CBR community welcomes experts from related fields and from industry. This year, papers on the theme "reuse by analogy" are particularly welcome: this is the second time that Trondheim hosts ICCBR and the ingredient of the previous ICCBR in Trondheim (in 2003) that has contributed to its success will be reused! From a scientific viewpoint, it is hoped that some more convergence between the analogical reasoning community and the CBR community will be achieved!

* Case reuse, adaptation and combination
* Maintenance, post-mortem analysis and quality assessment
* Case elicitation, case authoring, knowledge modeling and visualization
* Uncertainty, simulation and prediction
* Context models, explanations, preferences
CBR systems for task categories such as
* Process-oriented CBR, workflow management
* Case-based planning, case-based design
* CBR for traces, time-series, and temporal CBR
* Textual CBR
* Social CBR
CBR and related fields
* Analogical reasoning, cognitive models and creative reasoning
* Agent-oriented CBR, robotics
* Cloud-based CBR
* Web-based CBR, recommender systems
* Natural language processing, information retrieval
* Data mining, machine learning and big data
CBR systems, applications and lessons learned in
* Health
* E-science
* Finance
* Energy, logistics, traffic
* Game/AI
* Cooking
* Diagnosis, technical support
* Knowledge and experience management

Besides the main track, ICCBR 2017 will also feature a Doctoral Consortium, the Computer Cooking Contest as well as a workshop program, which provide an informal setting for addressing specific focus topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas.

Proceedings and Submission Procedure
All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence serie. Papers will be considered for poster and oral presentation based on the reviews. Authors must submit a full paper by the conference paper submission deadline.

ICCBR 2017 is employing the EasyChair conference management system, and submissions must be made via the ICCBR 2017 EasyChair Conference. Interested authors must format their papers according to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines. See www.springer.com. Authors of accepted papers are required to transfer their copyrights to Springer via email to program chairs. All submissions are required to be in electronic format.

Multiple Submission Policy
Papers submitted to other conferences must state this fact. If a paper will appear in another conference or journal, it must be withdrawn from ICCBR 2017. This restriction does not apply to papers submitted to specialized workshops without archival proceedings.

Author Registration Policy
