I did attempt last year (2003) in trying to incorporate CBR into JESS
but I got so busy with my other stuff and I did abandon the effort. I
intend to resume my effort in combining JESS+CBR at some later stage. However , this is not new and it has been done in academic and industry. I have seen on the internet that such hybrid development has been done at Inria. I think that Paul Haley (Haley Enterprise) will give you some hint if he is still on this mailing list. Haley Enterprise have also done development of products in this area which is combining symbolic rules and CBR.
The Java CBR engine I use is NaCODAE from the US navy. You can request a copy but you need to sign an agreement about its use. You get the binary + Javadocs. I think , that if you are an academic , you will get the source codes as well.

The Naval Research Laboratory's Intelligent Decision Aids Group is pleased to announce the release of Version 3.0 of the case-based reasoning tool NaCoDAE. Improvements relative to version 2 include:
1. The user interface and the case-based reasoning engine have been separated, so that the user interface may be used with other CBR engines and the CBR engine may be used with other user interfaces or embedded within other programs. 2. The API's of both the user interface and the CBR engine are documented in web browser readable format (i.e., HTML). 3. A pluggable case based similarity function is provided.
In addition, several bugs have been corrected.
Please let us know if you are interested in obtaining a copy of the program.
Sincerely, Len Breslow

Hi All,
I have been thinking about Case Based Reasoning (CBR) and it would seem that if a rule-based system could (1) determine which objects it was matching on, (2) use Java reflection to list the object methods used for the predicates, and (3) retrieve within some repository all the objects that fit (1) and (2) and assert them into working memory, then CBR would be a natural extension of a rule-based system.
Any thoughts ??
