Each submission must be identified as theoretical/methodological research, applied research, or deployed application paper and will be reviewed using criteria appropriate to its category. The criteria are as follows:
Theoretical research: Scientific significance, originality, technical quality, and clarity
Applied research: Significance for theoretical research or application deployment; originality; technical quality; and clarity
Deployed application: Demonstrated practical significance; originality; treatment of issues of engineering, management, and user acceptance; and clarity.
Papers will be considered for poster and oral presentation based on the reviews.

All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. All authors must format their papers according to Springer's LNCS formatting guidelines.

Authors must submit a full paper by the conference paper submission deadline, formatted according to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines (Link). Papers (submitted and final) will be no longer than 15 pages, including references. Please submit papers using the EasyChair conference management system, found at www.easychair.org under "ICCBR 2017".

Papers submitted to other conferences must state this fact as a footnote on page 1, and please also notify the program co-chairs by email. If a paper will appear in another conference or journal, it must be withdrawn from ICCBR 2017. This restriction does not apply to papers submitted to specialized workshops without archival proceedings.

In order for a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one of the authors must register for the conference by the camera-ready copy deadline.
