Alexandre Hanft, Kerstin Bach, Norman Ihle, Klaus‐Dieter Althoff · 2010
CookIIS is a successful Case-Based Reasoning web ap- plication that recommends and adapts recipes or creates a complete menu regarding to the user's preferences like explicitly excluded in- gredients or previously defined diets. The freely available application CookIIS won the 2nd Computer Cooking Contest (CCC) in 2009 af- ter winning the Menu Challenge at the 1st Computer Cooking Con- test in 2008. The chapter explains the realisation of CookIIS starting with the requirements of the first CCC until the final CCC'09 ver- sion. CookIIS uses a an industrial strength CBR tool, the empolis Information Access Suite (e:IAS). However, it goes beyond the stan- dard way of building a CBR application based on e:IAS. This chapter will describe the CookIIS system in detail, especially the knowledge modelling, case representation and adaptation processes.
