GENERAL INFORMATION :

In November, 1993, the First European Workshop on Case-Based  
Reasoning was hosted by the University of Kaiserslautern (Germany).  
The Workshop was a resounding success, attracting over 130  
participants from 17 countries. The Second European Workshop on CBR  
will be held near Chantilly, some 20 km North of Paris. Academic and  
social events will allow a close interaction between workshop  
participants. Registration will be limited to 120 participants on a  
"first-come, first-served" basis. The first day will be focussed on  
the practical uses of CBR technology and will consist of tutorials,  
presentations of industrial CBR applications and of invited  
presentations of outstanding CBR projects. The Workshop will consist  
of three days of paper presentations, invited talks, panels and  
poster sessions that will focus on the technology. An edited volume  
of selected papers will be published after the Workshop.
