The purpose of the workshop is to assess the state of the art and provide a snapshot of ongoing research in Case-Based Reasoning. The workshop is intended to bring active researchers together to review the latest research results in this field, to keep the government research community abreast of current technology, and to discuss the future of the case-based paradigm for a new generation of knowledge-based systems. The 1989 workshop was centered around a set of issue-oriented panels that discussed fundamental problems of Case-Based Reasoning, including case representation, indexing, similarity assessment, and case adaptation. The goal of this year's workshop is to discuss the progress of researchers towards solving these problems in the context of Case-Based Reasoning systems. Consequently, the program committee will prefer papers that discuss implemented systems over those that discuss unimplemented ideas. Papers that are concrete and concise will be preferred over those that are philosophical and/or abstract. Since AI research is largely an experimental science, it is anticipated that these papers will describe experiments performed and the measures applied to evaluate the experimental results. Papers that discuss specific applications where integration and/or scalability issues were solved in novel ways and program demonstrations are also encouraged. Researchers interested in demonstrating programs should contact Ray Bareiss to arrange for the needed computer equipment. A second goal of the workshop will be to provide challenges for future research by encouraging interaction between researchers and potential beneficiaries of their research, such as industrial designers, instructional designers, and builders of large software systems. Researchers who would like to present at the workshop are asked to submit five copies of their papers to: CBR91 Workshop c/o Ray Bareiss Institute for the Learning Sciences Northwestern University 1890 Maple Avenue Evanston, IL 60201 Submitted papers should be camera-ready, not exceeding twelve single-spaced pages including figures and bibliography. Formatting instructions will be sent via surface mail along with a hard copy of this announcement. It is the intention of the program committee to accept papers for publication as submitted, i.e., without revision. People who wish to attend without presenting should submit a brief statement of interest. The submission deadline is January 18, 1991; notification of acceptance will be made by February 28, 1991. As with other DARPA/ISTO sponsored workshops, a full proceedings of the workshop will be made available to those who attend.
