Abstract
In case-comparing construction a case library is searched in an attempt to find a case which is as similar as possible to the task at hand, so that its solution can be adopted. Unlike the problem type classification, the solutions of two different problems seldom agree in construction, so that the old case must be modified according to the special requirements of the new one. For this purpose an additional knowledge representation is required. Case-comparing construction should not therefore be regarded as an independent problem-solving method, but rather as an extension of the construction method whose knowledge representation it uses. Therefore in this chapter only the special case-comparing features are described. Case-comparing construction has two phases: the selection of the old case and the adoption or modification of its solution.
