Directions. Menlo Park, California: AAAI Press.
The
tutorial in chapter 2 of this volume presents a thorough discussion of
key CBR principles and issues and how to develop CBR systems.
Kolodner, Janet L. 1993. Case-Based Reasoning.San Francisco,
California: Morgan Kaufmann.
Kolodner's textbook presents an
extensive examination of CBR issues and survey of American CBR research.
