IUI 2008 - Case-based reasoning

Case-based reasoning for procedure learning by instruction
By Jim Blythe and Thomas Russ (USC Information Sciences Institute)

Summary:

This paper discusses a new tool to assist the user by "procedure learning by instruction". Their solution is based on utilizing previous procedures, and call them "cases". From these cases, they can aid the user in instructions and resusability. They apply this concept to a case-based reasoning system called CB-Tailor. This system allows for user to find specifics on distance to a restaurant or other attraction while traveling. From their test, it was a useable tool for both the novice and expert user.

Discussion:
This paper lacked a user stuy or any support information about how the users used the system.I finished the article missing the advantages of using a case based approach for improving instructions.
