An Overview and Comparison of Case-Based Reasoning Frameworks

Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a methodology with many applications in industrial and scientific domains. Over the past decades, various frameworks have been developed to facilitate the development of CBR applications. For practitioners and researchers, it is challenging to overview the landscape of existing frameworks with their specific scope and features. This makes it difficult to choose the most suitable framework for specific requirements. To address this issue, this work provides an overview and comparison of CBR frameworks, focusing on five recent, open-source CBR frameworks: CloodCBR, eXiT*CBR, jColibri, myCBR, and ProCAKE. They are compared by supported CBR types, knowledge containers, CBR phases, interfaces, and special features.
