Maintaining Experience to Learn: Case Studies on Case-Based Reasoning and Experience Factory

Klaus-Dieter Althoff, Jens Mänz, Markus Nick

Abstract

In the past many experience factory case studies and experiments have been carried out. We summarize some development steps and research results that, from our perspective, are important. We especially focus on the integration of experience factory and case-based reasoning and report on the respective benefits and impacts of such a seamless integration for building (more) autonomous and automated knowledge-based information systems, which will be of increasing importance in the future. It is our goal to build software-agent-enacted experience factories that improve case bases using maintenance and learning methods.
