  • Integration of CBR with other systems (i.e. hybrid systems)
  • Case based data mining
  • CBR system design issues (i.e., representation, retrieval, similarity assessment, adaptation, and indexing)
  • Knowledge acquisition, modelling, and management for CBR
  • Methodologies for developing CBR applications (e.g., case acquisition, modelling, maintenance and management)
  • Case-based and instance-based learning
  • CBR-related areas (e.g., knowledge management, corporate memories, decision support, intelligent retrieval, information discovery and retrieval, and reuse)
  • Cognitive aspects of CBR
  • Analogical reasoning
