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. PreviousICCBRs,includingthemergedEuropeanWorkshopsandConferenceson CBR,wereasfollows:Otzenhausen,Germany(1993);Chantilly,France(1994);Sesim- bra,Portugal(1995);Lausanne,Switzerland(1996);Providence,USA(1997);Dublin, Ireland (1998); Seeon Monastery, Germany (1999); Trento, Italy (2000); Vancouver, Canada (2001); Aberdeen, UK (2002); Trondheim, Norway (2003); Madrid, Spain (2004);Chicago,USA(2005);Fethiye,Turkey(2006);Belfast,UK(2007);Trier,Ger- many(2008);Seattle,USA(2009);Alessandria,Italy(2010);Greenwich,UK(2011); Lyon,France(2012);SaratogaSprings,USA(2013);Cork,Ireland(2014);Frankfurt, Germany(2015);Atlanta,USA(2016);Trondheim,Norway(2017);Stockholm,Swe- den(2018);Otzenhausen,Germany(2019);Salamanca,Spain(2020);andSalamanca, Spain(2021). 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. TheProgramChairs(IanWatsonandRosinaWeberin2020;AntonioSánchez-Ruizand MichealFloydin2021)andLocalOrganizers(JuanManuelCorchadoandFernandode alPrieta)forbothoftheseconferencesdeserveourheartfeltthanks,forkeepingtheflame burningduringthesetwodifficultyears.So,itwaswithgreatreliefthatthecommunity 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 visit to the “École de Nancy” museum. After this visit, there was the first meeting of participantsintheDoctoralConsortium(DC),whomettheirmentorsforthefirsttimeand preparedfortheirupcomingpresentations.TheDCisdesignedtoprovideopportunities vi Preface 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 first full day of the conference kicked off, on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 with an invited talk from Prof Xiaohong Gao of Middlesex University London (UK) onexplainableAIformedicalimageapplications,addressingtheglobalchallengesin health.Thisinvitedtalkwasfollowedbythefirsttwotechnicalsessionson“Explain- abilityinCBR”and“Representation&Similarity”,afterwhichthepostersessionbegan withaPosterGongShowofrapidtwo-minutepresentationsfollowedbyposter-board discussionsinvolvingalltheattendees. 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 cognitivelyappealingparadigmsforCBR.Thistalkwasfollowedbythefinaltechnical sessionon“Graphs&Optimisation”,beforeacommunitymeetingandlunch.TheLocal Chairs–EmmanuelNauerandNicolasLasolle–alongwiththehighlyefficientLocal OrganizingCommitteewereroundlythankedfortheireffortsinstagingtheconference, asweretheChairsoftheDoctoralConsortium(KerstinBachandSteliosKapetanakis), Workshop(PascalReussandJakobSchoenborn)andPoster(JeanLieber)Trackswhose contributionswerelauded.
