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. In continuation of the Workshop on Knowledge Discovery and Similarity at the ICCBR 2007, this workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to explore issues and approaches for discovering, building, maintaining, and applying the essential underlying knowledge to build and 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 like textual, structural, temporal or image cases. Furthermore we encourage contributions in the context of multiple case base or agent based applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Our call for paper is also available in Portable Document Format.

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 springer.de.

Submissions should be made through the workshop conference management system: KDS08@EasyChair. For further information do not hesitate to contact the workshop organizers.
