PAL S., Shiu S. Foundations Of Soft Case-based Reasoning

New Jersey: John Wiley, 2004. - 299 p.
This book provides a treatise in a unified framework describing how soft computing techniques can be used in building and maintaining case-based systems. The book is structured according to the four major phases of the problem-solving life cycle of a CBR system — representation and indexing of cases, case selection and retrieval, case adaptation, and case-base maintenance — and provides a solid foundation with a balanced mixture of theory, algorithm, and application. Examples are provided wherever necessary to make the concepts more clear. Various real-life applications are presented in a comprehensive manner for the benefit of practitioners.
