Advances in Case-Based Reasoning: Third European Workshop, EWCBR-96, Lausanne, Switzerland, November 14 - 16, 1996, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer ... / Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning, EWCBR-96, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in November 1996. Case-based reasoning is an appealing technique for dealing with the knowledge acquisition bottleneck in computer applications; solutions to new problems are found by adapting similar experience from the past, called cases. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a broad variety of submissions after a thorough refereeing process. The volume refleats the state of the art in case-based reasoning research and applications.
