Abstract

Case Retrieval Nets (CRNs) have been developed for the fast and flexible retrieval of previous cases (“experiences”) from large case bases. They permit the ranking of stored information according to their similarity to a query.

As an effective flexible information gathering technique they are appropriate for building information agents working over inhomogeneous data bases, too.

CRNs allow the addition and/or removal of information and indexes even at runtime, which makes them potentially useful for the adaptation and self-organization of information agents in changing environments.
