The following four workshops were held in conjunction with the conference: (1) Case-Based Reasoning Integrations, (2) Learning for Text Categorization, (3) Predicting the Future: AI Approaches to Time-Series Problems, and (4) Software Tools for Developing Agents. The AAAI-98 Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) Integrations, attended by approximately 45 people, focused on issues concerning multimodal reasoning systems that contain a CBR component. Although CBR is a general problem-solving architecture that is frequently integrated with other reasoning methods to solve complex tasks, no previous workshop attempted to characterize CBR integration issues. Workshop highlights included invited talks by Mary Lou Maher (University of Sydney) on design, Janice Glasgow (Queens University) on computational imagery, and Marc Goodman (Continuum Software, Inc.) on World Wide Web applications of CBR integrations. These talks provided the audience with a breadth of suggestions on how CBR can assist, and benefit from, integrations with other reasoning methods for a variety of tasks.

Workshop Report The 1994 Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) focused on the evaluation of CBR theories, models, systems, and system components. The CBR community addressed the evaluation of theories and implemented systems, with the consensus that a balance between novel innovations and evaluations could maximize progress. The 4 invited talks, 14 paper presentations, 19 poster presentations, and 1 summary panel discussion were attended by 66 participants. The four invited speakers discussed how CBR approaches can be evaluated in research projects, industrial applications, and military tasks. Katia Sycara (Carnegie Mellon University [CMU]) outlined an exhaustive set of measures for evaluating CBR systems and discussed how she applied some of these measures in empirical comparisons with other approaches for solving job shop scheduling problems.

Transfer learning occurs when, after gaining experience from learning how to solve source problems, the same learner exploits this experience to improve performance and learning on target problems. In transfer learning, the differences between the source and target problems characterize the transfer distance. CBR can support transfer learning methods in multiple ways. We illustrate how CBR and transfer learning interact and characterize three approaches for using CBR in transfer learning: (1) as a transfer learning method, (2) for problem learning, and (3) to transfer knowledge between sets of problems. We describe examples of these approaches from our own and related work and discuss applicable transfer distances for each.

This article presents an overview and survey of current work in case-based reasoning (CBR) integrations. There has been a recent upsurge in the integration of CBR with other reasoning modalities and computing paradigms, especially rule-based reasoning (RBR) and constraint-satisfaction problem (CSP) solving. CBR integrations with modelbased reasoning (MBR), genetic algorithms, and information retrieval are also discussed. This article characterizes the types of multimodal reasoning integrations where CBR can play a role, identifies the types of roles that CBR components can fulfill, and provides examples of integrated CBR systems. Past progress, current trends, and issues for future research are discussed. This article presents a brief introduction to CBR, a review of other approaches with which CBR has been combined, an overview of tasks CBR integrations can perform, a discussion of open issues in CBR integration, and a look at synergies achieved through CBR integration.

DrillEdge utilizes case-based reasoning with temporal representations on streaming realtime data, pattern matching, and agent systems to predict problems and give advice on how to mitigate the problems. Decisions are supported through analyzing real-time data streams of parameters measured both on the surface and downhole when drilling. The real-time analysis identifies symptoms of problems, which are combined to provide best practices for how to handle the current situation. Verdande Technology has developed DrillEdge to reduce the cost and decrease the probability of failures in oil well drilling. Currently, DrillEdge continuously monitors around 30 oil well drilling operations in parallel for several customers and has been deployed commercially for two years.
