Abstract

In this paper we describe a case-based reasoning application developed for aiding engineers in the design of chemical absorption plants. Based on the notion of flow sheet, the paper describes how the application uses a highly structured representation of cases and similarity criteria based on chemical knowledge for designing solutions following an interactive case-based reasoning approach.
