Methods of case adaptation: A survey

Abstract

In this article, we provide an overview of the case adaptation process. We classify various existing case adaptation methods available in the literature. We consider three different aspects, namely, domain knowledge requirement, adaptive capabilities of the case adaptation methods, and the kind of adaptation knowledge required. We then derive certain findings about the nature of the case adaptation methods and their applicability in real-life tasks. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Int Syst 20: 627–645, 2005.
