CBRAIN : ferramenta de raciocínio baseado em casos.

Abstract

This paper presents the design, features and functionality of CBRAIN – tool for projecting and developing systems using Case Based Reasoning (CBR). After studying mainly existing tools, it was noticed a shortage in terms of usability and a growing interest by researchers and professionals in this technique for modeling real world situations. The tool was developed respecting usability concepts in its graphical user interface where is possible to design and test the systems determining CBR attributes, indexes and rules of similarity for cases. A processing service was created as a web application, which requests to perform steps of the CBR cycle are processed. Like recovering cases, applying local and global similarity functions and adaptation and reuse.
