The ICCBR 2012 Program Committee invites submissions of original theoretical research, applied research and deployed application papers on all aspects of Case-Based Reasoning for the main technical program. ICCBR is the leading international meeting on case-based reasoning (CBR).

In order to expand the frontiers of CBR as a scientific field, we would like to (1) emphasize the connections between CBR and related areas, and (2) explore new problems and industrial solutions. Another primary objective of ICCBR 2012 is to encourage new members to join the CBR community and regularly attend / participate in this premier CBR conference. Thus, the ICCBR 2012 program will include several new ideas along with the regular keynote addresses, technical program, applications track and workshop sessions. Details on these elements of the program can be found on the ICCBR 2012 web site.

The ICCBR 2012 Program Committee invites submissions of original theoretical research, applied research and deployed application papers on all aspects of Case-Based Reasoning. Example submission areas include, but are not limited to:

* Foundations of Case Based Reasoning
* Analogical reasoning, cognitive models, and creative reasoning
* Lazy-learning, instance-based and case-based learning
* Similarity Metrics, indexing, retrieval, and adaptation
* Case authoring, knowledge modelling and visualization
* Explanations, confidence and uncertainty in CBR
* Data and text mining with case-based systems
* Experience-based knowledge management
* CBR architecture and development frameworks
* Agent based, Peer-to-Peer and Distributed CBR
* Applications of CBR (e.g. in health, law, education, government)
* CBR for planning, scheduling, design, diagnosis and classification
* Adaptive interfaces, user modelling and personalization in CBR
* Case-based recommender systems
* Textual CBR (including links with IR, NLP and text mining)
* CBR in the Semantic Web and developments in WebCBR
* AI and Games using CBR
* Fielded applications of CBR

All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (www.springer.com/lncs).
