   FLAIRS 2005 Special Track on Case-Based Reasoning


An evening of Camaraderie !

Plans are afoot to have a fun gathering and dinner group of the CBR track  program committee, paper presenters, and other CBR/AI folks the evening before FLAIRS starts. 

We are planning to gather around 7pm in the lobby of the Palms South Beach Hotel on Sunday, May 16th.

All are Welcome !


Following successful special tracks on Case-Based Reasoning at FLAIRS over the past three years, we are inviting papers for the Fourth Special Track on CBR at the 17th International FLAIRS Conference. This forum is intended to gather AI researchers and practitioners with an interest in CBR to present and discuss developments in CBR theory and application.

Submissions are solicited on CBR topics, including but not limited to:
