 The book by Professors Avramenko and Kraslawski is unique in several important ways. First, it is an impressive and in-depth treatment of the essence of the case–based reasoning strategy and case-based design dwelling upon the algorithmic facet of the paradigm. Second, the authors provided an excellent applied research framework by showing how this development can be effectively utilized in real word complicated environment of process engineering- a pursuit that is rarely reported in the literature in such a comprehensive manner as done in this book. In a highly authoritative and systematic manner, the authors guide the reader through the essential features of the CBR machinery.
