It supports knowledge acquisition and problem solving, and it is related to key words like machine learning, analogy, cognitive modeling, similarity, information retrieval among others. Although case-based reasoning has a well defined place within AI-related conferences, we feel that the topic deserves a workshop on its own also in Europe, as there have been such events in US. The scientific programme will include 21 presentations of selected papers, four invited talks, system demonstrations, two poster sessions (with 56 posters) as well as one panel discussion. An overview on case-based reasoning as well as the presentation of commercial CBR systems is planned for the first day. EWCBR-93 is thought of as a kick-off event for CBR in Europe, and with 92 submissions already had a good start. EWCBR-93 will be open for everyone who wants to attend. But, since the number of participants is restricted, please, register at our conference office as quick as possible (via fax or ordinary mail). Please, find additional information below, especially a form sheet for registration for EWCBR-93. Send the completed sheet to the conference office (mail or fax). ============================================================================== Program Committee: ============================================================================== Agnar Aamodt (Trondheim, Norway) Jaime G.

Known at the time as the "Europe House Otzenhausen", the European Academy was founded by the European Union in May 1954 as a meeting place for promoting Franco-German reconciliation, especially among young people. With the signing of the Treaty of Rome and the birth of the European Community it was decided to develop the Europe House Otzenhausen for European Youth and adult education and as an information center. In 1969, with the subsequent increase in the volume of work, staff, and premises the Europe House Otzenhausen became the first education center to be called a European Academy. It is not aligned with any political party or religious denomination. The Academy is situated in woods on the edge of the village of Otzenhausen between Trier and Kaiserslautern (south-west of Germany). Accommodation per person (including all meals from Sunday evening until Friday Lunch) costs 500 DM in double rooms. For single rooms the costs increase to 650 DM. =============================================================================== Registration: =============================================================================== The regristration form with respect to payment, traveling, and further accommodation aspects ist available from our conference office: Christine Harms EWCBR-93 c/o GMD Postfach 1316 D-53757 Sankt Augustin Germany Tel: +49 2241 14-2473 Fax: +49 2241 14-2472 /-2618 email: christine.harms@kmx.gmd.dbp.de Please, cut here --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- 8< --- R e g i s t r a t i o n E W C B R - 9 3 =========================================== Frau Christine Harms c/o GMD - EWCBR-93 Postfach 1316 D-53757 Sankt Augustin Germany Last name: _______________________________________________________________ First name: ______________________________________________________________ Institution: ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ ZIP-Code, City: ___________________________________________________________ Country: __________________________________________________________________ Email: ____________________________________________________________________ Tel: ______________________________________________________________________ Fax: ______________________________________________________________________ Signment: _________________________________________________________________ before Sep. 15th | after Sep. 15th Members of GI /AFCET/ 300 DM 400 DM [ ] ACAI/NGI/ITG/ACM University staff 300 DM 400 DM [ ] Non-Members 400 DM 500 DM [ ] Students 100 DM 150 DM [ ] Member of _______________________ # __________________ Double room (500 DM) ____ Share with: _______________________________ Single room (650 DM) ____
