The Twofold Integration of CBR in Decision Support Systems

Contents

This short paper presents our experience in facing different levels of integration of CBR techniques with other system components and techniques inside decision support systems for controlling environmental emergencies. The integration requirement at the level of system components is distinguished from the integration requirements at the level of specific steps in the CBR problem solving cycle. We describe how these aspects have been dealt inside two systems, CHARADE and CARICA, and point out the influence of this work on our current activity.
