CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON UNCERTAINTY AND FUZZINESS IN CASE-BASED REASONING
=============================================================
taking place on Sep 5, 2006, as part of
ECCBR 2006 - 8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON CASE-BASED REASONING
Ölüdeniz/Fethiye, Turkey
As a general problem solving methodology intended to cover a wide
range of real-world applications, case-based reasoning must face the
challenge to deal with uncertain, incomplete, and vague information.
Correspondingly, recent years have witnessed an increased interest in
formalizing parts of the CBR methodology within different frameworks
of reasoning under uncertainty, and in building hybrid approaches by
combining CBR with methods of uncertain and approximate reasoning.
Fuzzy set theory can be mentioned as a particular though especially
interesting example. In fact, even though both CBR and fuzzy systems
are intended as cognitively more plausible approaches to reasoning and
problem solving, the two corresponding fields have emphasized
different aspects that can complement each other in a reasonable way.
In particular, rule-based fuzzy systems and CBR systems can cross-
fertilize each other in various ways. Besides, fuzzy methods turned
out to be very useful for knowledge representation in CBR.
The objective of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for
exchanging ideas related to the application of uncertainty techniques
in case-based reasoning. The workshop aims at providing a forum for
the discussion of recent advances in this research field and to offer
an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to identify new
promising research directions.
The organizers welcome contributions on the use of principled methods
for reasoning under uncertainty such as, e.g.,
- probabilistic and Bayesian methods,
- fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic,
- possibility theory,
- evidence theory,
- rough set theory,
- information theory,
in case-based reasoning, including but not limited to
- case and knowledge representation, acquisition, and modeling,
- maintenance and management of CBR systems,
- case indexing and retrieval,
- similarity assessment and adaptation,
- instance-based and case-based learning,
- CBR applications.
We encourage submissions of papers that report on advances in these
core areas, as well as those dealing with insights or important open
problems for future research derived from the construction and use of
applications.
