Special Issue on Case Based Reasoning

Case-based reasoning (CBR) addresses new problems by remembering and adapting solutions previously used to solve similar problems. Pulled by the increasing number of applications and pushed by a growing interest in memory intensive techniques, research on case-based reasoning appears to be gaining momentum. This special issue on Case Based Reasoning gathers together extended versions of selected papers of the successful ICCBR International Conference on Case Based Reasoning, held in November 2016 in Atlanta, USA. ICCBR is the premier, annual meeting of the CBR community and the leading international conference on this topic. The conference series steadily expands the frontiers of CBR as a scientific field. Each conference addresses on the progress of the field and its connections with related areas and application domains. We have selected the best papers of ICCBR 2016 and invited their authors to submit extended and improved versions of their contributions.
