The International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR) is the premier, annual meeting of the case-based reasoning (CBR) community and the leading international conference on this topic. The CBR community welcomes contributions from participants representing all types of affiliations (e.g., academic, industry, government) and from all communities applying CBR or conducting relevant research. Conference submissions are not limited to papers on the conference theme, though the organisers are especially interested in papers that do address the theme.
GLOBAL CHALLENGES FOR CBR
GLOBAL CHALLENGES FOR CBR is this year’s conference theme, to direct the community’s attention to the pressing issues that impact us all, such as sustainability, climate change and global health crises. This year we pose the question: “What can CBR do to meet these challenges?”
Accordingly, this year’s conference welcomes and encourages submissions and participation from members of the AI and CBR communities – whether they be researchers, policy makers or practitioners — on these global challenges. In this respect, we look forward to a variety of submissions; they could be position papers or roadmapping proposals, as well as traditional basic or applied research papers.
In addition to the emphasized areas above, we welcome submissions relevant to all areas of CBR, including (but not limited to):

REVIEW CRITERIA
Each submission must be identified as presenting (1) theoretical/methodological research, (2) applied research/emerging applications, (3) a deployed application, and will be reviewed using criteria appropriate to its category, (4) Literature surveys, or (5) Challenge papers. These criteria are as follows:
- Theoretical/methodological research: Scientific significance, originality, technical quality, and clarity;
- Applied research/emerging applications: Significance for theoretical research or promise for application deployment;
- Deployed application: Demonstrated practical significance; originality; treatment of issues of engineering, management, and user acceptance; and clarity;
- Literature survey: Well-developed body of research, inclusion of works from several authors, significance, clarity, open research questions.
Papers will be considered for poster or oral presentation based on the reviews and the most effective mode of presenting it to the ICCBR audience.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Authors must submit a full paper by the conference paper submission deadline, formatted according to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Papers (submitted and final) should be no longer than 15 pages including references. Please submit papers using the EasyChair conference management system here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccbr2022
Multiple Submission Policy
Papers submitted to other conferences must state this fact as a footnote on page 1, and please also notify the program co-chairs by email. If a paper will appear in another conference or journal, it must be withdrawn from ICCBR 2022.
Author Registration Policy
For a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one of the authors must register for the conference by the camera-ready copy deadline. Papers must be presented by one of the authors at the conference live. There will be no video presentations.
