     * Methods for CBR (e.g., representation, indexing, retrieval,
       adaptation)
     * Evaluation methods for CBR systems and integrations
     * Practical applications of CBR
     * Textual CBR
     * CBR and Creativity
     * CBR and design
     * Distributed CBR
     * Case base maintenance
     * Spatio-temporal CBR
