Extended Case-Based Reasoning for Intelligent System Configuration

To finish the system configuration quickly, the paper proposes an extended case-based reasoning for product configuration design. With matter-elements, reasoning model of extended case-based reasoning (ECBR), the similar degree between different parts can be calculated seriously. During the configuration design, the solution space of configuration schemes is obtained by the similarity calculation, and then the overall evaluation of similarity and compatible degrees is adopted to form the final configuration scheme. Based on the method, a prototype system of reducer configuration design is successfully developed, and it proves the proposed method that is feasible and effective.
