Workshop Schedule

Speakers will have 20 minutes for presentation and questions. Workshop rooms are expected to have computers available for making presentations. These should support both CD and memory stick for presentation transfer.

Workshop Description

Case-based reasoning systems rely on a variety of techniques, such as data mining, machine learning, and knowledge discovery in order to build, maintain, and use their knowledge resources both for domain and system processing. In addition, these techniques rely on metrics for determining various kinds of similarity between aspects of domain and system knowledge. This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to explore issues and approaches for discovering, building, maintaining, and applying the essential underlying knowledge to support case-based reasoning systems. The workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of new ideas and the discussion of future research directions.

We are interested in submissions on the topics related to discovering, building, maintaining, and applying CBR knowledge sources. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • data mining
  • machine learning
  • knowledge discovery
  • update of knowledge
  • outdated knowledge
  • reuse of knowledge
  • life cycles of experiences (cases)
  • adaptation of knowledge vocabulary
  • flexible similarity measures
  • maintenance of corporate memories
  • usage of feedback
  • maintenance of adaptation knowledge
  • maintainable knowledge
  • maintenance tools
  • practical experiences
  • deployed applications

Submissions

We invite paper submissions including descriptions of works in progress, research contributions, and position statements. Submissions should attempt to address issues relating to knowledge discovery and similarity in case-based reasoning. Workshop papers should be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of 10 pages. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files are available on the web at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Submissions should be made through the workshop conference management system: http://iccbr07-ws-kds.confmaster.net/. For further information contact the workshop organizers.
