The Workshop was a resounding success, attracting over 130 participants from some 17 countries, with papers, panels and working groups covering the major research areas of CBR. The Second European Workshop on CBR (EWCBR 94) will be held in the beautiful Chateau of Montvillargene in Chantilly, some 20 km North of Paris (near Roissy Charles De Gaulle airport). Academic and social events will be at Chantilly, in order to allow a close interaction between workshop participants. Registration will be limited to 140 participants on a "first-come, first-served" basis. PROGRAMME: The scientific programme will include the presentation of selected papers, invited talks, system demonstrations as well as poster and panel sessions. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Submissions are invited on all aspects of CBR including (but not restricted to): - Indexing and Retrieval - Adaptation Techniques - Cognitive Modelling - Learning in CBR - Uses of CBR in Diagnosis, Design and Planning - Integrating CBR and with Other Machine Learning Techniques - Analogical Reasoning - Case-Based Knowledge Engineering - Innovative Applications that Use CBR technology - Evaluation Methodologies - Comparisons of CBR Systems Submissions can be concerned with: - theoretical results - Practical and empirical results - Work in progress (posters) - System descriptions (to be demonstrated at workshop) All submissions should be in the form of a paper (no longer than 6000 words, including references; allow 1000 words for each full page of figures). Each paper should also include a 200 word abstract. Five copies of submitted papers should be sent to Mark Keane (EWCBR 94), Dept. of Computer Science, Trinity College, Dublin 2, IRELAND before the deadline (March, 31st, 1994). ----------------- The Workshop will consist of three days of invited talks, panels, paper presentations and poster sessions. A tutorial day focussed on the practical uses of CBR technology, will precede these three days. A prize for the best paper will be presented and an edited volume of selected papers will be published after the Workshop.

LATE REGISTRATION FEES Due to popular demand (and extreme external pressure on the organising committee), the late fee registration deadline has been postponed until september 15th. WHO SHOULD REGISTER AND PAY THE CONFERENCE FEE Everyone, including speakers, but excluding the two invited speakers. LIST OF ORAL PRESENTATIONS DURING THE SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS: We have assumed that the first author of the paper would be doing the presentation. Please notify us if this is not the case. TERMS OF PAYMENT FOR EWCBR With have already about 70 registered participants from over 15 countries, we believe that EWCBR 94 will be as much of a success as EWCBR 93. However, several persons who have had their paper accepted for oral presentations or posters have not yet registered. We urge you to do so and to confirm your participation as quickly as possible. The limit on the number of participants is strict and, if the current rate of registration continues, we will probably close registration before the workshop (no on-site registrations). Please, understand that we cannot accept more participants than the conference room can hold and we will not take any registration once we reach our limit. No exception will be made, even for speakers, and we will not take bribes (unless the bribe is high enough of course). In addition, your registration will be only confirmed once we receive full payment. Participants that do not pay their registration fee in time will have to pay the late fee and assume the risk of the cancellation of their registration even if they work in a large bureaucratic organisation or in a govenment's agency. We apologise, but no exception will be made even for french government agencies. If your organisation cannot cope with these terms of payment, we suggest that you make an advance payment on your own money and get your organisation to reimburse your expenses afterward. Finally, we remind you to label your money transfer in french francs and to pre-pay ALL BANKING EXPENSES. Several registered participants will soon receive a request for additional money, that range between 15$ and 35$, because they failed to so (what counts is not how much money you have sent but how much money we receive). CHANGE OF SITE FOR THE CONFERENCE Several people have also enquired about why we have changed the location of the conference. As annonced during EWCBR 93, we initially intended to hold the conference in a place that looked quite good on the leaflets they had sent us. It turned out that when we visited the place, it was not nearly as nice as on the glossy leaflets. After visiting several douzains of other places in the same area, we finally decided to hold the conference in the Royaumont foundation that used to be a monastery until the french revolution. It is really an exceptional setting for EWCBR 94. Royaumont is a French national monument that has been adapted to hold seminars. The food is superb, the conference room is modern (although not as well equiped in standard as last year's), the place is freshly repainted and the rooms are nice. The Royaumont Foundation is primarily devoted to hosting music festivals and cultural events but we managed to convince them that the CBR community was composed of cultivated people... I hope my nose will not begin to grow... Unfortunately, the Foundation cannot accommodate more than 60 people in total in the evening so we had to split the group into 2 for accommodations. Half of the participants will be hosted on the conference site and the other half in a luxurious Chateau near by. The quality of the service, of the food, of the wine and of the accommodations is VERY HIGH in both places and, although it is more expensive than the other place, we will be getting much better value for the money. We hope that this clarifies any remaining misunderstanding about why we changed the location of the conference. TRAVEL GRANTS Several persons have requested travel grants. We cannot confirm any grant at this stage. It is quite likely that we will get travel grants for eastern countries participants, less likely for EC members and quite unlikely for the others. However, we cannot make any commitments at this stage and are still trying the best we can. You should thus behave as if you do not have a grant, and if we do obtain one we will probably notify it to you (and pay it) during the conference. CONFERENCE PACKAGE Finally, we have low secreterial resources. Please read and understand what is written on the previous call for participation. The fee for attending the conference is a global fee. The only reason why we have split the conference fee and the accommodation fee is for tax reasons in order to decrease the expenses for non French participants and remove VAT on goods that are exported. You should thus think of the registration + accommodation fee as a whole. Wether you intend to sleep in the room or not, wether you intend to eat the food or not is totally irrelevant. Please do not harrass us and ask for discounts on the accommodation fee. We have negociated a fixed price, global conference package that includes everything. With the exception of industry day, WE WILL NOT TAKE REGISTRATIONS without food and accommodations. Once again, we apologise for being so strict, but please understand that we have very limited secretarial ressources and that we have tried kept the fee as low as possible (when taking into account regard the exceptional quality of the conference location and food and wine). --------------------------------------------------------------------- SECOND EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON CASE BASED REASONING EWCBR'94 FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 7-10th of November 1994 Royaumont Foundation, Chantilly (France) With Support from: AFIA (The French Association for Artificial Intelligence) COMETT (Commission of European Communities) Conseil Regional Ile de France The company INGENIA, that distributes Remind in France, will also sponsor a special event during the scientific conference. GENERAL INFORMATION : In November, 1993, the First European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning was hosted by the University of Kaiserslautern (Germany). The Workshop was a resounding success, attracting over 130 participants from 17 countries. The Second European Workshop on CBR will be held near Chantilly, some 20 km North of Paris. Academic and social events will allow a close interaction between workshop participants. Registration will be limited to 120 participants on a "first-come, first-served" basis. The first day will be focussed on the practical uses of CBR technology and will consist of tutorials, presentations of industrial CBR applications and of invited presentations of outstanding CBR projects. The Workshop will consist of three days of paper presentations, invited talks, panels and poster sessions that will focus on the technology. An edited volume of selected papers will be published after the Workshop.
