Abstract
An approach to improving the management of complexity during the redesign of technical processes by means of MBR and CBR techniques is proposed. The key point of this approach is the multi-model hierarchical representation to group items of equipment of a technical process in functional sections according to their functions and intentions. A CBR system gives similar equipment/functional sections to the one selected by the user to be replaced/modified. The output is a set of candidate equipment/functional sections to be adapted into the original process.
