                    CALL FOR PAPERS
    Seventeenth UK Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning
                     (UKCBR 2012)

             11 December 2012, Cambridge, UK

        *** Submission date: October 7th 2012 ***

Submissions are invited for the 17th UK Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning. 
The workshop is a relatively informal occasion where you can meet CBR 
colleagues and exchange news, views and opinions as well as presenting 
and/or learning about the work of other researchers and practitioners. 
As in the last few years, the workshop will again be held in Cambridge, 
jointly with the British Computer Society SGAI AI-2012 conference on 
artificial intelligence and its applications.

AI-2012 is the thirty-second SGAI International Conference on Innovative 
Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence. The venue for 
the Workshop and AI-2012 will be Peterhouse College. The workshop will 
run in parallel with the other workshops on the first day of the 
conference.

A special rate will be available for those attending AI-2012 on the 
following two days. SGAI are also subsidising a reduced rate for 
non-presenting students.

A warm invitation is extended also to researchers from outside the UK 
to submit a paper, or otherwise attend.

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
Paper submissions are invited on any aspect of case-based reasoning. 
Papers on practical applications of CBR will be particularly welcome. 


TOPICS OF INTEREST
 Possible topics include, but are not restricted to:
 * the theory of CBR
 * methods for case adaptation, indexing, retrieval, representation,
   explanation, and provenance
 * hybrid, agent-based CBR systems
 * CBR in data mining and knowledge discovery in databases
 * knowledge acquisition, modelling, and management for CBR
 * CBR in engineering, design, manufacturing
 * CBR and the Internet
 * e-Commerce applications of CBR
 * CBR and human learning
 * CBR in software engineering
 * CBR in healthcare
 * textual and Web CBR
 * CBR and the Semantic Web / Linked Data
 * reasoning aspects of CBR
