The background and fundamentals, as well as an overview of the problems and difficulties, of these two fields of artificial intelligence are presented in chapters two and three. Chapter four looks at some established software systems that use CBR. Lewis does, then, move on to review computer network management systems which use CBR techniques. A number of problem areas in network management are raised, but at this point, the material seems to be more of an overview of the software's capabilities, rather than any discussion of network management as such, or the application of case-based reasoning to the problem. copyright Robert M.
