Abstract :
In some applications with case-based systems, the attributes available for indexing are better described as linguistic variables instead of receiving numerical treatment. In these applications, the concept of fuzzy hypercube can be applied to give a geometrical interpretation of similarities among cases. The paper presents an approach that uses geometrical properties of fuzzy hypercube space to make indexing and retrieval processes of cases
