Rule based reasoning (RBR) and case based reasoning (CBR) have emerged as two important and complementary reasoning methodologies in artificial intelligence (AI). For problem solving in complex, real world situations, it is useful to integrate RBR and CBR. This paper presents an approach to achieve a compact and seamless integration of RBR and CBR within the base architecture of rules. The pape...

In wireless sensor network, high packet loss occurs due to the mobile sensor nodes. Energy consumption is also one of the main challenges in mobile sensor nodes. To overcome these problems, a new algorithm is proposed named as Improved Cluster Based Routing Protocol. This routing protocol follows the routing process similar to CBR-Mobile WSN. In addition, it reduces unnecessary broadcast and co...

We present a proactive communication approach that allows CBR agents to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of other CBR agents. The communication protocol allows CBR agents to learn from communicating with other CBR agents in such a way that each agent is able to retain certain cases provided by other agents that are able to improve their individual performance (without need to disclose all the...

Although Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) claims to reduce the effort required for developing knowledge-based systems substantially compared with more traditional Artificial Intelligence approaches, the implementation of a CBR application from scratch is still a time consuming task. In this paper we present a novel, freely available tool for rapid prototyping of CBR applications that focuses on the s...

Building a methodology for developing CBR applications is an important goal currently addressed by CBR researchers and practitioners. Since CBR application development is a special kind of software development, building a CBR methodology can certainly be viewed as a software engineering research and development activity. This paper presents a perspective of how software process modelling, which...

Analogy-Based (or Analogical) and Case-Based Reasoning (ABR and CBR) are two similar problem solving processes based on the adaptation of the solution of past problems for use with a new analogous problem. In this paper we review these two processes and we give some real world examples with emphasis to the field of Medicine, where one can find some of the most common and useful CBR applications...

BACKGROUND Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is a multi-sectoral approach working to equalize opportunities and include people with disability in all aspects of community life. Reliable and internationally comparable data needed to monitor and evaluate CBR are scarce, partially due to the absence of standardized indicators. The objective of this manuscript is to describe the collaborative de...

The shovel-truck system is commonly used in open-pit mining operations. Truck haulage cost constitutes about 26% of costs as the trucks are mostly powered by diesel whose escalating annually. Therefore, reducing fuel consumption could lead to a significant decrease overall costs. Various methods have been proposed improve efficiency mines. Case-based reasoning (CBR) can be estimate trucks. In t...
