The International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR) is the preeminentinternationalmeetingoncase-basedreasoning(CBR). Through2009, ICCBR (http://www. iccbr. org) had been a biennial conference, held in alter- tion with its sister conference, the European Conference on Case-BasedReas- ing (http://www. eccbr. org), which was located in Europe. At the 2009 ICCBR,the ICCBR ProgramCommittee elected to extend ano er of consoli- tion with ECCBR. The o er was accepted by the ECCBR 2010 organizers and they have considered it approved by the ECCBR community, as the two conf- ences share a majority of Program Committee members. ICCBR and ECCBR havebeen theleading conferencesonCBR. From2010,ICCBRandECCBRwill be merged in a single conference series, called ICCBR. As there had been eight previous ICCBR events and nine previous ECCBR events, the combined series is considered the 18th ICCBR. ICCBR 2010 (http://www. iccbr. org/iccbr10) was therefore the 18th in this seriesof internationalconferenceshighlighting the mostsigni cantcontributions tothe eldofCBR.
