At the 2009 ICCBR,theICCBRProgramCommitteeelectedtoextendanofferofconsolida- tion with ECCBR. The offer was accepted by the ECCBR 2010 organizers and they haveconsideredit approvedby the ECCBRcommunity, as the two confer- ences share a majority of Program Committee members. ICCBR and ECCBR havebeentheleadingconferencesonCBR.From2010,ICCBRandECCBRwill be merged in a single conference series, called ICCBR. As there had been eight previous ICCBR events and nine previous ECCBR events, the combined series is considered the 18th ICCBR. ICCBR 2010 (http://www.iccbr.org/iccbr10) was therefore the 18th in this seriesofinternationalconferenceshighlightingthemostsignificantcontributions tothefieldofCBR.TheconferencetookplaceduringJuly19–22,2010inthecity ofAlessandria,Italy,onthebeautifulcampusoftheUniversityofPiemonteOri- entale“A.Avogadro.”PreviousICCBRconferenceswereheldinSesimbra,Por- tugal(1995),Providence,RhodeIsland,USA(1997),SeeonMonastery,Germany (1999), Vancouver, BC, Canada (2001), Trondheim, Norway (2003), Chicago, Illinois,USA(2005),Belfast,NorthernIreland(2007),andSeattle,Washington, USA (2009). Day 1 of the conference hosted an Applications Track, the second Doctoral Consortium,and the third Computer Cooking Contest.The Applications Track featuredfieldedapplicationsandCBRsystemsdemosinindustrialandscientific settingswithanemphasisondiscussionandnetworkingbetweenresearchersand industrials. The Computer Cooking Contest featured papers selected for their technical quality, originality of the approach, culinary quality, and relevance of the created recipes. It ended with a competition, which showcased intriguing intelligent systems rivaling with humans in the kitchen. The second Doctoral Consortiumalloweddoctoralstudentstoconnectwithseniorresearchersmentors from the CBR community. Day 2 was dedicated to four workshops and the poster session. The four workshops were dedicated to “Case-Based Reasoning for Computer Games,” “Provenance-Aware CBR: Applications to Reasoning, Metareasoning, Mainte- nance and Explanation,”“CBRStartups,” and“WebCBR: Reasoningfrom Ex- periences on the Web.” The poster session allowed for interactive and in-depth discussions of researchadvances. VI Preface Days 3 and 4 comprised scientific paper presentations ontheoretical andap- pliedCBRresearch.ThepresentationsandposterscoveredawiderangeofCBR topicsincludingadaptation,bioinformatics,casemining,caseretrieval,computer games, experience on the Web, introspective reasoning, knowledge acquisition, knowledge management, knowledge representation,planning, similarity, tempo- ral reasoning,and textual CBR. The conference was proud to present three distinguished invited speakers: Riccardo Bellazzi (University of Pavia, Italy) introduced the audience to trans- lational bioinformatics, its challenges and opportunities for CBR and decision support systems; Amedeo Napoli (LORIA, France) explained why and how knowledgediscoverycanbe usefulforsolvingproblemswith CBR;AshwinRam (GeorgiaInstitute of Technology,USA) presented real-time CBR for interactive digital entertainment. We are grateful for their innovative ideas. This volume includes 18papers fromoralpresentationsand17 fromposters. These were chosen from a total of 53 submissions. In addition, the volume con- tainsthreepapersfrominvitedspeakers.Theacceptedpaperswerechosenbased on a thorough and highly selective review process. Each paper was reviewed and discussed by four reviewers and revised according to their comments. Re- viewers were encouraged to reach a consensus when they did not agree, which they generally managed to accomplish through lively discussions. The papers in this volume provide a representative snapshot of current CBR research. We have organized the proceedings in three parts: Invited Talks (3 short papers), Theoretical/Methodological Research Papers (12 papers), and Applied Research Papers (13 papers). Many people participated in making ICCBR possible. First of all, Stefania Montani (University of Piemonte Orientale, Italy) doubled her role as Scientific ChairwiththatofConferenceChairthisyear.Shealsohadtheinitiativetopro- pose ICCBR 2010,thus inviting us allto beautiful Italy.The organizationteam wasverydiverse,havingCindyMarling(OhioUniversity,USA)ascoordinatorof the WorkshopProgram;JerzySurma(WarsawSchoolofEconomics,Poland)as chairof the Applications Track;Klaus-Dieter Althoff (University ofHildesheim, Germany) as organizer of the Doctoral Consortium. This diverse team together with the authors,the invited speakers,the ProgramCommittee, and additional reviewers are the stars of the CBR community in 2010. They made the confer- ence happen and we want to thank them for their brilliant performances that are recordedin this volume. We gratefully acknowledgethe generous support of the sponsors of ICCBR 2010. Additional help was provided by doctoral students from the University of Piemonte Orientale in Italy. In support of local arrangements, thanks to the LocalArrangementsCommitteefromtheUniversityofPiemonteOrientale.The submission and reviewing process was carried out with the use of EasyChair. Finally, we thank Springer for its continuing support in publishing this series of conference proceedings.
