Implementation and Evaluation of an Experience Base

In this thesis concepts for the evaluation of an experience factory from a conceptual to an operational level have been developed and validated to some extent by successful use during this thesis. First experience was gained regarding the use of the GQM¹approach for the practical evaluation of an experience base by its successful application to the evaluation of the example experience base metaCBR. A generic WWW user interface for a CBR-Works application was developed and tailored for metaCBR. The characterization scheme of metaCBR and the contents of the case base (i.e., the experience itself) were improved.
