The ICCBR'99 Program Committee invited submissions of original research and application papers on all aspects of CBR.
Topics may include but need not be restricted to the following:
| CBR design issues, e.g., retrieval, similarity assessment, adaptation, and indexing |
| Case representation and case base maintenance |
| Knowledge acquisition, modeling, and management for CBR |
| Methodologies for developing CBR applications |
| System architectures and integration of CBR with other methods |
| Evaluation of CBR systems and comparisons to other approaches |
| Case-based and instance-based learning, index learning, and integration with other learning methods |
| Applications of CBR in customer support, design, education, electronic commerce, knowledge management, manufacturing, medicine, quality management, etc. |
| CBR-related areas, e.g., corporate memories, decision support, intelligent retrieval, networked information discovery and retrieval, and reuse |
| Cognitive models based on CBR |
| Analogical reasoning |
Papers may be accepted for presentation as talks, as part of a panel, or as posters. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag.
Submissions must be identified as either research or application papers and will be reviewed using criteria appropriate to their category. Review criteria for research papers will include scientific significance, originality, technical quality, and clarity. Review criteria for application papers will include practical or economic significance, potential to lead to more powerful technology, technical quality, and clarity.
The paper may also be simultaneously submitted to the special issue on "Case-Based Reasoning for Engineering Applications" of the international journal Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (see EAAI call for papers).

Authors must submit both an electronic title page and a full paper by February 26, 1999. The electronic title page should include: name(s) of the author(s); name, address, fax number, and email of the contact person; title and abstract of the paper; a set of keywords; a statement whether the submission is to be reviewed as a research paper or an application paper.
Full papers may be submitted in either of two ways:
| Electronically, as a UNIX-printable postscript file emailed to iccbr99-submit@iccbr.org, plus one hard copy to be received as soon as possible after the electronic submission. This is the preferred mode of submission. |
| In hard copy only, sending five copies. |
Hard copies must be sent to:
|
Klaus-Dieter Althoff Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering Sauerwiesen 6 D-67661 Kaiserslautern Germany |
Electronic paper submissions and title pages must be sent to iccbr99-submit@iccbr.org. The title page may also be submitted using the online form.
Submissions should be in a 12-point font and not more than 30 lines per page on A4 or 8.5" x 11" paper with at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins. Submissions may be a maximum of 15 pages long, including figures and references.
Alternatively, papers may be submitted in Springer LNCS format (which is the format required for the final camera ready copy) with a maximum of 15 pages.
Papers submitted to other conferences must state this fact on the title page. If a paper will appear at another conference, it must be withdrawn from ICCBR'99 before March 19. This restriction does not apply to papers appearing in proceedings of specialized workshops. All authors of accepted papers must transfer their copyrights to Springer.
In order for a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one of the authors must register for the conference by the deadline for camera-ready copy (April 30, 1999).
