ICCBR 2025 invites proposals for the Workshop Program, to be held during the conference (June 30th – July 3rd) in Biarritz, France.
ICCBR 2025 workshops will provide an informal setting for addressing specific focus topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. Recent ICCBR workshops have explored research and applications topics for areas such as case-based agents, synergies of CBR and LLMs, analogical reasoning, textual CBR, case representation, and explainability in CBR. With the conference theme of Generative AI and CBR, ICCBR 2025 especially encourages proposals for workshops spanning broader areas and building bridges to other communities whose interests overlap with those of ICCBR.
Members of all segments of the CBR community are encouraged to submit workshop proposals for review. The workshop program is intended to complement the formal technical program of the main conference and to support more in-depth interactions. Proposals to run tutorial sessions can also be considered. If you would like to propose holding a tutorial session, on a CBR related topic, please contact the workshop chairs to discuss.

Workshop Proposal Content
Proposals for workshops should be roughly two to three pages in length and include the following information:
- Proposed title of the workshop.
- A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the workshop goals and the issues that will be its focus.
- A brief description of why the workshop would be of interest to ICCBR attendees.
- If the workshop spans multiple communities, a brief description of why the workshop is expected to attract members of those communities to ICCBR.
- A preliminary workshop format and a proposed schedule for organizing the workshop, including desired length for the workshop. This should include a brief description of how the organizers intend to encourage an atmosphere appropriate for a workshop.
- If available, a list of possible participants or research groups. Ideally, workshop organizers would contact likely participants to assess interest; please indicate those on the list who have said they are likely to attend. If the workshop was held in the past, please provide the number of submissions and attendees.
- Information concerning whether this workshop is a continuation of a previous workshop.
- The intended means of advertising the workshop (specific mailing lists to be used, etc.).
- The names, postal addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses of the proposed workshop organizing committee. This committee normally consists of two to four people knowledgeable in the area.
- The primary contact for the organizing committee.
- A draft call for papers.
Workshop organizers must submit their proposals via email to the Workshop Chairs:
Kyle Martin, Robert Gordon University (k.martin3@rgu.ac.uk)

Workshop Organization
Each workshop organizing committee will be responsible for:
- Producing a Call for Participation for their workshop. This call will be posted on the ICCBR 2025 website. It should clarify the process by which the organizing committee will review and select the papers and presentations. In addition, the submission procedure, format, and dates should be included and be in accordance with the ICCBR 2025 required submission procedure and dates to be provided to the organizers.
- Advertising the workshop, recruiting relevant attendees as appropriate, and producing a workshop website.
- Reviewing and selecting presentations and papers.
- Planning the workshop structure and format. Workshops can vary in length from half a day to a full day. Organizers are highly encouraged to propose alternative formats beyond paper/poster presentations and should encourage the submission and presentation of position papers that discuss new research ideas. Workshop papers will be published as a technical report.
- Providing the workshop’s selected papers in camera-ready format to the Workshop Chairs. ICCBR 2025 will provide a meeting place for the workshop and arrange the production of the workshop proceedings. Workshop papers should be submitted in CEUR-WS format under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) license, with a maximum of 16 pages. Organizers may wish to allow both short papers (5-9 pages) and long papers (10-16 pages).
- Meeting all deadlines in a timeline to be provided by the workshop program. ICCBR 2025 reserves the right to cancel any workshop if deadlines are missed, if too few submissions are received, or if too few attendees register for the workshop to support the costs of holding it. In special cases, the ICCBR 2025 Program Committee may suggest the consolidation of workshops to prevent the need for cancellation. All workshop participants must register for the conference (at least one author of each accepted paper must register prior to the submission of the camera-ready copy), and workshops must be open to all registered participants of ICCBR 2025. Alternatively, there will be a separate registration fee for those wishing to only participate at the workshops.
Any questions regarding workshop organization should be directed towards the ICCBR 2025 Workshop Chairs, or should be resolved by examining the available information on the ICCBR 2025 website.
