The Role of Case Based Planning in Large Scale Planning Systems

Large-scale planning must employ many disparate planning and decision-making systems, operating over disparate databases to solve many disparate problems.

The fundamental conclusion we have arrived at as a result of our research on deployment transport planning is that Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) offers a viable lingua franca for large-scale planning.
