Abstract

Most synthesis strategies for solution synthesis in distributed expert systems (DESs) are developed based on analytic methods or inductive methods. A synthesis strategy presented in this paper is developed by case-based reasoning based on an analogical method. In this paper, the basic frame work of the strategy is introduced and preliminary results are demonstrated. Furthermore, this strategy is compared with related work.
