Advances in Case-Based Reasoning: 6th European Conference, ECCBR 2002 Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, September 4-7, 2002 Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer ... / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

The Papers Collected In This Volume Were Presented At The 6th European C- Ference On Case-based Reasoning (eccbr 2002) Held At The Robert Gordon University In Aberdeen, Uk. This Conference Followed A Series Of Very Succe- Ful Well-established Biennial European Workshops Held In Trento, Italy (2000), Dublin, Ireland (1998), Lausanne, Switzerland (1996), And Paris, France (1994), After The Initial Workshop In Kaiserslautern, Germany (1993). These Meetings Have A History Of Attracting ?rst-class European And International Researchers And Practitioners In The Years Interleaving With The Biennial International Co- Terpart Iccbr; The 4th Iccbr Conference Was Held In Vancouver, Canada In 2001. Proceedings Of Eccbr And Iccbr Conferences Are Traditionally Published By Springer-verlag In Their Lnai Series. Case-based Reasoning (cbr) Is An Ai Problem-solving Approach Where Pr- Lems Are Solved By Retrieving And Reusing Solutions From Similar, Previously Solved Problems, And Possibly Revising The Retrieved Solution To Re?ect Di?erences - Tween The New And Retrieved Problems. Case Knowledge Stores The Previously Solved Problems And Is The Main Knowledge Source Of A Cbr System. A Main Focus Of Cbr Research Is The Representation, Acquisition And Maintenance Of Case Knowledge. Recently Other Knowledge Sources Have Been Recognized As Important: Indexing, Similarity And Adaptation Knowledge. Signi?cant Knowledge Engine- Ing E?ort May Be Needed For These, And So The Representation, Acquisition And Maintenance Of Cbr Knowledge More Generally Have Become Important.

All current issues in case-based reasoning, ranging from foundational and methodological issues to advanced applications in various fields are addressed The abundance of digital information that is available has made the organization of that information into a complex and vitally important task.
