Case-based reasoning (CBR)
A methodology of solving new problems by
adapting the solutions of previous similar
problems
23
Case-based reasoning (CBR)

• CBR consists of the following steps
• Introduction - a new problem to be solved is
  positioned in the problem space
• Retrival - actual problem is matched against old
  problems by computing similarity function, and
  the most similar problem and its stored solution
  are found
• Adaptation - if needed, a new solution is created
  by adjusting of proposed solution
• Learning - a received solution and a new problem
  are incorporated into the case base.

Principles of TRIZ

• All innovations emerge from the application of a
  very small number of inventive principles and
  strategies.
• Technology evolution trends are highly
  predictable.
• The best solutions transform the unwanted or
  harmful elements of a system into useful
  resources.
• The best solutions actively seek out and
  destroy the conflicts and trade-offs most design
  practices assume to be fundamental.
