The AAAI-99 KM/CBR Workshop: Summary of Contributions

The contributions at the AAAI-99 Workshop on Exploring Synergies of Knowledge Management and Case-Based Reasoning (www.aic.nrl.navy.mil/~aha/aaai99-kmcbrw) were varied; it was the first AAAI workshop that focused at the intersection of these two disciplines. In this paper I attempt to identify trends of interest to the case-based reasoning community, as exhibited by this workshop's contributions, and predict some future trends. 1. Context The AAAI-99 KM/CBR Workshop took place on 19 July 1999 in Orlando, Florida (USA) as part of the AAAI-99 Conference. Our goal for this workshop was to improve our understanding of knowledge management (KM) objectives and in how case-based reasoning (CBR) techniques could be used to assist in solving them. Given this, we designed the workshop to include several invited KM talks that were tutorial in nature, with the expectation that most of the submissions would be devoted to demonstrations of incorporating CBR techniques in KM applications.
