We have studied the retrieve-and-propose problem-solving method, a specialization of the general case-based reasoning method, in terms of its tasks in the context of fault recovery domains. We analyzed the case retrieval and learning tasks that are primarily used in the retrieve-and-propose method, decomposed them into appropriate subtasks, associated decisions for selecting each subtask, and implemented methods for accomplishing each task. We have implemented a system, called REPRO for retrieve and propose, that incorporates the results of this analysis and facilitates the selection of the appropriate algorithms for implementing a case- based expert system. We have used REPRO to develop the CABER case-based fault recovery system.
