Abstract

In this paper we describe an application of JTMS technology for maintaining consistency of pieces of a project plan obtained by case reuse. In our approach project plans are constructed interactively with the support of a CBR module. The user can either make edits to a project plan, or call a case reuse module for completing parts of it. As the user is making modifications on the project plan, conditions about applicability of the cases may change. We present an implementation of JTMS technology on a commercial tool for project planning to detect possible inconsistencies in reusing cases as a result of these changes.
