Evolutionary Case Based Design

This paper extends the basic framework of case based reasoning (CBR) to include an evolutionary approach to adaptation. Such an extension allows the CBR system to consider a number of alternatives in parallel rather than forcing it to make a choice about the most appropriate case to process or the best way to modify that case. This results in a system which integrates the efficiency benefits of a CBR system with the flexibility of an evolutionary system, to provide an evolutionary CBR system. The paper illustrates how such a system can be used to solve design problems in a simple civil engineering application.
