Case-Based Reasoning Research and Development 27th International Conference, ICCBR 2019, Otzenhausen, Germany, September 8–12, 2019, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning Research and Development, ICCBR 2019, held in Otzenhausen, Germany, in September 2019.

The 26 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. 15 were selected for oral presentation and 11 for poster presentation. The theme of ICCBR 2019, "Explainable AI (XAI)," was highlighted by several activities. These papers, which are included in the proceedings, address many themes related to the theory and application of case-based reasoning and its future direction.
