Abstract: After fifteen years of CBR conferences, this paper sets out to 
examine the themes that have evolved in CBR research as revealed by the 
implicit and explicit relationships between the conference papers. We have 
examined a number of metrics for demonstrating connections between papers 
and between authors and have found that a clustering based on co-citation 
of papers appears to produce the most meaningful organisation. We have 
employed an Ensemble Non-negative Matrix Factorisation (NMF) approach that 
produces a "soft" hierarchical clustering, where papers can belong to more 
than one cluster. This is useful as papers can naturally relate to more 
than one research area. We have produced timelines for each of these 
clusters that highlight influential papers and illustrate the fife-cycle 
of research themes over the last fifteen years. The, insights afforded by 
this analysis are presented in detail. In addition to the analysis of the 
sub-structure of CBR research, this paper also presents some global 
statistics on the CBR conference literature.
