Advances in Case-Based Reasoning

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Workshop on Case-Based Reasonning, EWCBR 2000, held in Trento, Italy in September 2000. The 40 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. All curves issues in case-based reasoning, ranging from foundational and theoretical aspects to advanced applications in various fields are addressed.
