e rst part is like CBR, because all the tasks contribute to nding a case
similar to the one the measurer has to measure. e second part is rule based,
because all the tasks contribute to solving the case. In Figure5.10, the heuristics
formulas are represented by a pentagon (giving priority to topological concepts,
giving priority to case problems, interpreting the answers, assessing the results).
