Abstract: The European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) in 2008 
marked 15 years of international and European CBR conferences where almost 
seven hundred research papers were published. In this report we review the 
research themes covered in these papers and identify the topics that are 
active at the moment. The main mechanism for this analysis is a clustering of 
the research papers based on both cocitation links and text similarity. It is 
interesting to note that the core set of papers has attracted citations from 
almost three thousand papers outside the conference collection so it is clear 
that the CBR conferences are a subpart of a much larger whole. It is 
remarkable that the research themes revealed by this analysis do not map 
directly to the subtopics of CBR that might appear in a textbook. Instead they 
reflect the applications-oriented focus of CBR research, and cover the 
promising application areas and research challenges that are faced.
