In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized cases into process-oriented case-based reasoning. We present the formal foundations for the generalization of workflow cases as well as a new algorithm for generalizing semantic workflows, guided by ontological knowledge of the domain. Further, the specialization of workflows w.r.t. a current query is addressed. An experimental evaluation d...

In this paper we present parts of our CookIIS system, a CBR-based application which provides and modifies cooking recipes. We participated at the 1 Computer Cooking Contest and won the menu challenge with CookIIS. After introducing the workflows used in this application, we show how the different tasks can be refined in order to improve the processes of the retrieval with custom components and ...

We have argued elsewhere that user goals should be taken into account when deciding what kind of explanation of its results a CBR system should give. In this paper, we propose the use of an Activity Theory based methodology for identifying different user goals and expectations towards explanations given by a system supporting a work process.

This paper describes an innovative usage of Case-Based Re asoning to reduce the high computing cost derived from running large interactive simulation scenarios within the framework of advanced training systems. The paper discusses the ideas, implementation and a preliminary evaluation within the framework of the European IST research pro ject A-TEAM.

In this work we propose the use of a similarity-based fuzzy CBR approach to classify the prevalence of Schistosomiasis in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil.

The Harvard case has made a profound contribution to business education around the world. course of Media Management is about business. In order improve its teaching efficiency, adopted case-based teaching, and integrates question answer story in teaching. It conducted full description advance first two weeks term, introduced core concepts media management, then assigned research tasks for Chin...

One of the first CBR systems was CHEF, a case-based planner that reuses cooking recipes for creating new ones. Since then, a wide variety of applications of case-based planning (CBP) have been proposed including manufacturing, military planning and emergency prediction. In this talk, the speaker will discuss the evolution of the role of the cases in CBP. In early CBP systems like CHEF, cases pr...

The complexity and high construction cost of case bases make it very difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate a CBR system, especially a knowledge-intensive CBR system, using statistical evaluation methods on many case bases. In this paper, we propose an evaluation strategy, which uses both many simple case bases and a few complex case bases to evaluate a CBR system, and show how this strategy...
