This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European
Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning, EWCBR-96, held in Lausanne,
Switzerland, in November 1996.
Case-based reasoning is an appealing technique for dealing with the
knowledge acquisition bottleneck in computer applications; solutions to
new problems are found by adapting similar experience from the past,
called cases. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully
selected from a broad variety of submissions after a thorough refereeing
process. The volume refleats the state of the art in case-based
reasoning research and applications.
