Abstract
This paper extends the basic framework of case based reasoning (CBR) to include an evolutionary approach to adaptation. Such an extension allows the CBR system to consider a number of alternatives in parallel rather than forcing it to make a choice about the most appropriate case to process or the best way to modify that case. This results in a system which integrates the efficiency benefits of a CBR system with the flexibility of an evolutionary system, to provide an evolutionary CBR system. The paper illustrates how such a system can be used to solve design problems in a simple civil engineering application.
