The conference follows and extends the CBR workshops that have taken place in the United States since 1988 and Europe since 1993. ICCBR is planned to become a biennial event, encouraging the more specific workshops to be held in the years between. This year's conference will be held in Europe, in the beautiful small town of Sesimbra, south of Lisbon. Case-based reasoning is now an established area of AI, with a continually growing world-wide research community and a number of fielded applications. ICCBR-95 will be a broad-scoped and high-quality conference, where we will sum up the status of the field in a tutorial, discuss recent research results through scientific paper and poster sessions, and in application sessions focus on system building tools and industrial and other type of applications. The overall aim of ICCBR-95 is to advance the scientific and application-oriented state of the CBR field by bringing researchers and system builders together for in-depth discussions and general exchange of views and ideas. As the first international event within the case-based reasoning field, ICCBR-95 should lead to a consolidation of our common platform, and to a strengthening of the CBR community and field in general. The conference will start with an 'application day' consisting of an introductory tutorial and a set of presentations focusing the practical uses of CBR technology. This is followed by three days of scientific paper presentations, invited talks, panel discussions, and poster sessions. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Submissions are invited on all aspects of CBR and analogical reasoning including (but not restricted to): - Indexing and retrieval - Case modification - Learning - Cognitive modelling - Knowledge representation - Case memory structures - Integrated problem solving and learning - Integrating CBR and with other methods - Case-based reasoning and design - Case-based knowledge engineering - Evaluation methods - Comparisons of CBR systems - System architectures - Application-related methods for, e.g., Reuse of experience, Corporate memories, Information filtering/retrieval, Knowledge management Active decision support, Education and tutoring. Papers will be carefully reviewed for relevance to CBR, originality, significance, technical quality, and clarity of presentation. Scientific papers may address theoretical issues, empirical studies, or novel approaches related to cognitive models, computational methods, tool-oriented research, or development methodologies. Application papers may describe fielded or close-to-be-fielded systems, system building experience, or tool studies. Papers may be accepted for plenary or poster presentation. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All submissions should be in the form of a printed paper, written in English. Papers should be printed on 8.5" x 11" or A4 sized paper. They must be a maximum of 12 pages long, including figures and bibliography. Each page must have no more than 43 lines, lines being at most 140mm (5.5") long and 12 point type. The papers should have a separate page, in addition to the 12 pages mentioned above, with the title of the paper, names, postal and email address of the authors, a 200-word abstract, and a list of keywords. Please indicate on the front page whether your paper is a scientific paper or an application paper. Five copies of submitted papers should be sent by surface mail before April 10th to one of the program conference co-chairs: PROGRAM CONFERENCE CHAIRS Prof. Agnar Aamodt (program co-chair) University of Trondheim, Department of Informatics N-7055 Dragvoll, Norway email: agnar@ifi.unit.no phone: +47-7359-1838, fax: +47-7359-1733 Prof. Manuela Veloso (program co-chair) Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Computer Science Pittsburgh PA 15213-3891, USA email: mmv@cs.cmu.edu phone: (412) 268-8464, fax: (412) 268-5576 LOCAL ORGANIZATION CHAIR Carlos Bento Univ. de Coimbra - Lab. de Informatica e Sistemas Vila Franca - Pinhal de Marrocos 3030 Coimbra - PORTUGAL email: bento@mercurio.uc.pt phone: +351 39 7000030, fax: +351 39 701266 IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline April 10th 1995 Notification of Acceptance or Rejection May 20th 1995 Camera-Ready Copy June 20th 1995 APPLICATIONS AND TOOL DEMOS We also invite demos of systems and commercial tools during ICCBR-95.

Sesimbra is a small town 35 Km south of Lisbon. It has great fishing traditions and is famous for its fish and seafood. Near from there is a spectacular region of natural forest which is national patrimony. Accommodation will be at Hotel do Mar, overlooking the beautiful beach of Sesimbra. The bedrooms, with large terraces facing the ocean, are equipped with telephone, satellite television and air conditioning. The Hotel includes a broad set of sport facilities and a play area for children. We are determined at keeping the costs at an acceptable level to also enable students and people from academia to participate on a large scale. The prices are favorable in Portugal at this time of the year. There may be student scholarships available. The conference will be sponsored by Acknosoft, Paris and some other companies and organisations yet to be decided or formally confirmed.
