Abstract :
The representation of cases and rules is addressed. A case representation language tool used to directly represent instantiated cases is presented. PRIMO (plausible reasoning module), a rule-based system used to represent uncertainty and vagueness in data and rules, is described. Cases and rules, integrated in a combined approximate reasoning system (CARS), are illustrated with examples taken from the domain of mergers and acquisitions
