Case-Based Reasoning has become an important technology for a wide range of applications in engineering domains, such as knowledge management, decision support, diagnosis & maintenance, design, and planning. A large number of systems, from research prototypes to fielded systems, have been already developed world wide.
Following these developments, a special issue of the international journal Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence is planned for December 1999, to be dedicated to CBR techniques applied to engineering domains. The special issue will be organised on the occasion of the 3rd International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR'99) and intends to include extended and reworked versions of conference papers related to engineering applications.
Topics covered in the special issue may include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
Retrieval, similarity assessment, and adaptation aspects of engineering applications |
|
Case and general knowledge representation for engineering domains |
|
Knowledge acquisition, modelling, and maintenance for engineering applications |
|
System architectures and integration issues of CBR applications in engineering |
|
Success stories of engineering applications highlighting the importance of CBR |
|
Evaluations of CBR approaches in engineering domains |
Papers on both theoretical/technical and application-oriented work dealing with the various aspects of case-based reasoning for engineering applications can be submitted in either of the following two ways:
|
Submitting a paper to the ICCBR'99 conference (by the deadline of February 26, 1999), indicating that this paper should also be considered for the special issue of EAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit an extended version of their conference paper for the journal. | |
|
Independent from the ICCBR'99 conference, sending a complete
manuscript by the deadline of February 26, 1999, either as
UNIX-printable postscript file via e-mail plus one hard copy
(preferred) or by sending five hard copies. Submission
should be made to the guest editor:
