Here you will find a regular featured book (which you can order online if you choose from amazon). We obviously will feature any new CBR books, but will also feature other books that will be of interest to you. These will include books on AI and machine learning, programming, the Internet and occasionally the odd book just for fun (we all need some down time).

Developing Industrial Case-Based Reasoning Applications : The INRECA Methodology by Bergmann, R., Breen, S., Goker, M., Manago, M. & Wess, S. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 1612, Springer, Berlin order online now

It's a real pleasure to recommend this book. In fact I'd go so far as to say that this book is "essential" reading for everyone working in CBR and planning to implement a CBR system. The INRECA methodology presented in this book provides a framework for developing CBR solutions for successful real-world applications. The book is targeted at people who are interested in the practical issues of developing case-based applications, in particular integrators, and to people who want to increase their understanding of the process and requirements for building such solutions. In particular, this book is addressed to:

• consultants or integrators who want to develop case-based applications,
• end-users or prospective end-users of case-based technologies,
• IT managers,
• QA personnel,
• MIS or software engineering executives.

The book will also be of relevance to researchers developing CBR systems, since they will need to consider how they should address this methodology in their own research.

The book is divided into sections on:

• smarter business with case-based support,
• developing CBR application using the INRECA methodology
• using the methodology in different domains.

In addition the book ships with a CD-ROM containing a wealth of supplementary material, successful application scenarios and importantly a toolkit to support the INRECA methodology. Together the book and CD-ROM provide an invaluable reference for both R&D professionals and IT managers interested in this exciting new technology.
