Application Examples

Abstract

In this chapter examples support and complement the understanding of the previous chapters. In this chapter examples of major problem areas as classification, diagnosis, prediction, call centres, etc. are briefly introduced. We mainly discuss how example applications can be formulated in a form suitable for {CBR.} The examples show the variety of applications of {CBR} technology. The application types are illustrated by specific examples. These examples are supposed to indicate where {CBR} can be of use and what aspects in each application are suitable for the {CBR} methodology. They demonstrate the broad scope of {CBR} applications. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the reader with an initial impression of the reasoning tasks and application domains typical of {CBR.} We recommend it to readers who have completed reading the previous chapters. The descriptions are intended to provide examples for illustrating the concepts and methods mentioned mostly in Chap. 2, Basic {CBR} Elements. Throughout the chapter, we reference where to read further about new topics.
