Special Track on Case-Based Reasoning

Following successful special tracks on case-based reasoning at FLAIRS over the past seven years, we invited papers for the Eighth Special Track on CBR at the 22nd International FLAIRS Conference. Case-based reasoning is an AI problem solving and analysis methodology that retrieves and adapts previous experiences to fit new contexts. This forum is intended to gather AI researchers and practitioners with an interest in CBR to present and discuss developments in CBR theory and application. Submission topics included foundations of CBR; methods for CBR (such as representation, indexing, retrieval, adaptation); evaluation methods for CBR systems and integrations; practical applications of CBR; textual CBR; CBR and creativity; CBR and design; distributed CBR; case based maintenance; spatiotemporal CBR; CBR in the health sciences; CBR integrations; case based planning; and CBR and games. The invited speaker for the special track for 2009 is Ashok Goel from the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA.
