What is Case-Based Reasoning?

Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a mature software technology that has been successful applied to a wide range of intelligent solutions.

It is based on a simple but powerful idea: "Similar problems have similar solutions."

CBR reuses experiences stored in past cases to solve new problems through intelligent retrieval of solutions, products, and corporate knowledge.

With CBR, you can use your company's existing data and knowledge as a valuable resource for intelligent business solutions. Case- Based Reasoning also integrates naturally with the World-Wide-Web for global solutions.

Today, enterprises like AT&T Unisource, British Airways, Chrysler, Daimler-Benz, Compaq, Dell, Fuji Film, Gateway 2000, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Kenwood, Nokia, Siemens, VISA International and many more already use CBR technology successfully.
