E W C B R - 93
First European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning
1-5 November 1993
Kaiserslautern (Germany)
Call for Participation
===============================================================================
General Information:
Case-Based Reasoning is a topic which becomes more and more important and has
raised considerable interest recently. 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).

Accommodation:
==============================================================================
EWCBR-93 will take place in the European Academy Otzenhausen.
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.

Subject: CFP: Workshop on Intelligent Hypertext (Nov. 5, '93 in DC)
CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON
INTELLIGENT HYPERTEXT
November 5, 1993---Washington, D.C.
Sponsored by ACM and ISCA
In Conjunction with CIKM-93 - the ACM Conference on
Information and Knowledge Management (November 1--5, 1993)
The CIKM '93 Workshop on Intelligent Hypertext
will explore the application of natural lan-
guage processing, knowledge bases, intelligent
agents, and other AI techniques to hypertext
systems. We are particularly interested in
reports of work in progress, and practical
experience with large hypertext documents.
Organizing Committee Participants are encouraged to submit position
papers not to exceed four pages in length.
Richard Furuta The papers will be reviewed by the
Texas A&M University organizing committee, and some will be
Robert Futrelle selected for informal presentation at the
Northeastern University workshop. Selected papers will appear in a
James Mayfield workshop proceedings. Mail papers in either
University of Maryland PostScript or ASCII to SMART-HT@CS.UMBC.EDU by
Baltimore County September 20, 1993. We prefer e-mail submis-
Charles Nicholas sions, but authors who lack e-mail access may
University of Maryland send papers to Dr. James Mayfield, Computer
Baltimore County Science Department, University of Maryland
Roy Rada Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD 21228-5398
University of Liverpool USA.
Submissions should include the title, au-
thor(s), author's affiliation, e-mail address,
fax number and postal address. In case of
multiple authors, please indicate which author
is responsible for correspondence.
