SMARTHOUSE technology comprises of devices that help the elderly and people with disabilities to live independently in their homes. This paper presents our experiences from a three month pilot project involving the application of CBR techniques to match the needs of the elderly and those with disabilities to SMARTHOUSE technology. The SMARTHOUSE problem was decomposed into sub-tasks and generalised concepts were added for each sub-task. This decomposition and generalisation enabled the use of a standard decision tree based iterative retrieval strategy. Documented real situations were used to create a small case base and a prototype implemented using RECALL with TCL script was evaluated on three test cases. Results showed that the generated solutions to be comparable to that of a domain expert’s solutions.
