Reuse of a Single Case: Adaptation

  • Chapter
Reasoning with Complex Cases

Abstract

This chapter proposes a framework for describing systems that reuse a single source case. It applies it to the systems selected and extracts a first set of guidelines. The major issue in the design of such systems is the approach to adaptation, because it influences many other decisions. Adaptation remains an issue with case-based reasoning systems that reuse multiple source cases. But there, strategic questions of how to handle more than one source case move into foreground. Therefore, this chapter focuses on case adaptation and the next one on strategies.

Notes

  1. The distinction between solution modification and derivation modification is old but has been given different names: [Carbonell, 1986] speaks of transformational versus derivational analogy, while [Cunningham et al., 1994] call it substitutive or transformative adaptation versus generative adaptation.
