Case-Based Reasoning

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.
