Abstract

Case-based reasoning (CBR) literature defines the process of defining a case-base as a hard and time-demanding task though the same literature does not report in detail on how to build your initial case base. The main contribution of this paper is the description of the methods that we used in order to build the initial case-base including the steps taken in order to make sure that the quality of the initial case set is appropriate. We first present the domain and argue why CBR is an appropriate solution for our application. Then we detail how we created the case base and show how the cases are validated.
