/articles/2006/03/08/distributed-case-based-reasoning-using-java en-us 40 A little short for a storm trooper <p>Over the next few months I will be investing some time into a research project focusing on distributed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-based_reasoning">case-base reasoning</a>. The idea is to establish an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_ad-hoc_network">ad-hoc network</a> of nodes that each have a separate case-base. When a node attempts to find a solution to a problem it will query both it&#8217;s local case-base and case-bases of connected nodes to determine the solution.</p> <p>The exact algorithms that the solver uses to select nodes to query will have a significant impact on the speed and accuracy with which a solution can be found. The maintainece of the distributed cases-bases via case addition or removal will also need to be addressed in our research.</p> <p>I will be working on an existing codebase but I have been looking around to see if I can find any free or opensource java case-base reasoning software. Something that I can tack a distribution layer on top of but I have been unable to find any products that are not commercial software and/or under highly restrictive licenses. I wonder if this is an area that just does not appeal to <span class="caps">FOSS</span> developers?</p> Wed, 08 Mar 2006 13:05:00 +1100 urn:uuid:2c386742-324f-49eb-a7d5-dd038f523132 Peter Donald http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2006/03/08/distributed-case-based-reasoning-using-java Java cbr case base reasoning java distributed http://www.realityforge.org/articles/trackback/31
