The CBR Methodology Retrieval Code

A java code was developed to automate the retrieval process and the development of
the case-base by adopting the solutions of the new cases using the interface shown in
Figure 5.

CASE STUDY OF CBR METHODOLOGY

IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY

A case study published by Duguay (Duguay & Chetouane, 2007)) representing a
regional hospital with 2000 medical personnel and an ED with over 50,000 yearly
patients was adopted to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach. Data
collected from this case study are shown in Figures 6 and 7 (Duguay & Chetouane,
2007).
