Integration of case–based reasoning with object–oriented database management systems for efficient management of large case bases

Case–based reasoning (CBR) is an AI–based technology that offers a novel problem–solving approach that relies on past situations. The basic cycle of CBR System is 'input a problem, find a relevant old situation, adapt it.' It is a rich and knowledge–intensive method that captures past experiences, enhances existing problem–solving methods, and improves the overall learning capabilities. It is also a paradigm that addresses issues of memory, learning, planning and problem–solving. It is therefore both a problem solving approach and a cognitive model of the way in which people learn and remember.
