Papers must be submitted in electronic form as pdf only. Springer LNCS is the format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of 15 pages. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files are available on the web at Springer's information for authors http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Review Procedure

Papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from the program committee. Submissions must be identified as either research or application papers and will be reviewed using criteria appropriate to their category. Review criteria for research papers will include scientific significance, originality, technical quality, and clarity. Review criteria for application papers will include practical or economic significance, potential to lead to more powerful technology, technical quality, and clarity.
Further, as we aim at highlighting contributions to the special areas amongst the submissions on the above topics, the authors must indicate whether a submission should be considered to one of these areas (The Role of CBR in the Future Internet, CBR in Healthcare).
Please note that at least one of the paper's authors must be registered to ECCBR 2008. Otherwise, the paper will not be incorporated in the proceedings wich are published in Spingers Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series http://www.springer.com/lncs.
