Abstract

This paper presents an architecture for a Personal Travel Assistant (PTA) which can elaborate on a users travel request and evaluate travel offers. Information on user behaviour is stored in a case base in the form of a Case Retrieval Net. This lazy approach has the advantages that it is incremental, extendible and allows flexible reuse of the information.
