Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at the 30th International Conference on
Case-BasedReasoning(ICCBR2022),whichwasheldduringSeptember12–15,2022,
at LORIA in Nancy, France. ICCBR is the premier annual meeting of the Case-
BasedReasoning(CBR)researchcommunity.ThethemeofICCBR2022was“Global
Challenges for CBR”, aiming to consider how CBR can and might contribute to
challengesinsustainability,climatechange,andglobalhealth.Specifically,weposedthe
question“WhatcanCBRdotomeetthesechallenges?”,encouragingsubmissionsfrom
ourinvitedspeakers,researchers,policymakers,orpractitionersintheCBRcommunity
thataretacklingtheseglobalchallenges.

Notably, this year’s conference marked the 30th anniversary of CBR conferences,
since the First European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning (EWCBR-93) held in
Otzenhausen,Germany.Indeed,byanoddbookendingcoincidence,oneofthecurrent
Chairs(MK)wasalsoaninvitedspeakeratthisveryfirstconferencein1993.
Ofcourse,2020and2021wereexceptionallydifficultandshockingyearsduetothe
COVID-19pandemic,andduringbothoftheseyearstheconferencewasheldvirtually.
Sadly,aftertwoattempts,thecommunitydidnotgettoactuallymeetinSpainintheend.

returnedtoaface-to-faceconferencein2022.
ICCBR 2022 received 68 submissions from authors in 15 countries, spanning
Europe, North America, and Asia. Most papers were reviewed by three Program
Committee members, with tied decisions being resolved by additional reviewing. Of
the 68 submissions, 16 (23%) were selected for oral presentations, with a further 10
(15%)beingacceptedasposters.
Thepre-eventsforICCBR2022beganonSunday,September11withanenlightening

for PhD students to share and obtain feedback on their research and career objectives
with senior CBR researchers and peers. In the evening, the conference attendees had
a meal together and viewed a sound and light show in the Place Stanislas. The pre-

The second day kicked off with more technical sessions on “Applications” and
“CBR & ML”, with the second invited talk after lunch being given on explainable
AI by Prof Cynthia Rudin of Duke University (USA), the 2022 recipient of the
AAAI’sSquirrelAIAwardforArtificialIntelligencefortheBenefitofHumanity.This
wonderful presentation was followed by a trip to the historic centre of Nancy and the
GalaDinner.
The third and final day of the conference began with the last invited talk from
ProfSutanuChakrabortioftheIndianInstituteofTechnologyMadras(India)onmore

As Program Chairs we relied heavily on the Advisory Committee for advice and
a wise sounding board for many of the key decisions we had to make: our thanks to

and additional reviewers for handling the large reviewing load, and their thoughtful
