Abstract
This paper introduces RECIDE, an implementation of our approach to case-based reasoning. A qualitative and a quantitative metric are used for case retrieval. RECIDE has a library of successful and failure cases. Generation of new solutions is driven by splitting and merging operations on successful cases. Failure cases represent constraints on the application of splitting and merging operators. RECIDEPSY, an application of RECIDE in the domain of psychology, is introduced in this paper. We present the results obtained with RECIDEPSY when splitting and merging operations are considered for generation of a new solution and compare them with the ones produced when solutions are constructed from a single case.
