Knowledge-based systems using rule-based and model-based reasoning techniques have been applied to build design automation and/or design decision support systems. Although such systems have met with some success difficulties have been encountered in terms of formalizing such generalized design experiences as rules logic and domain models. Recently researchers have been exploring the idea of using case-based reasoning CBR techniques to complement or replace other approaches to design support. CBR can be considered as an alternative to paradigms such as rule-based and model-based reasoning. Rule-based expert systems capture knowledge in the form of if-then rules which are usually identified by a domain expert. Model-based reasoning aims at formulating knowledge in the form of principles to cover the various aspects of a problem domain. These principles which are more general than if-then rules comprise a model which an expert system may use to solve problems. Model-based reasoning MBR is sometimes called reasoning from first principles. Instead of generalizing knowledge into rules or models CBR is an experience-based method. Thus specific cases corresponding to prior problem-solving experiences comprise the main knowledge sources in a CBR system. This volume includes a collection of chapters that describe specific projects in which case-based reasoning is the focus for the representation and reasoning in a particular design domain. The chapters provide a broad spectrum of applications and issues in applying and extending the concept of CBR to design. Each chapter provides its own introduction to CBR concepts and principles. Review "This book contains.very accessible essays which will interest anyone with a concern for design design problems or how poorly structured problems can be approached." ―Journal of the American Society for Information Science "The work has multidisciplinary appeal. Library and information science students will appreciate the issues and alternatives for case representation and indexing students of computer science will be interested in the design models and implementation algorithms and both engineers and designers in other domains may find value in the ways these systems enable the creation of something new out of past knowledge and experience." ―Library and Information Science Annual 1999 About the Author Mary Lou Maher Pearl Pu Product details Publisher ” : ‎ Psychology Press Publication date ” : ‎ April 1 1997 Edition ” : ‎ 1st Language ” : ‎ English Print length ” : ‎ 354 pages ISBN-10 ” : ‎ 0805823123 ISBN-13 ” : ‎ 978-0805823127 Item Weight ” : ‎ 1.65 pounds Dimensions ” : ‎ 6.5 x 1 x 9.5 inches OnWord Press hardcover
