Abstract
The main topic of this article is the application of the case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology in the domain of control of industrial processes. Fundamental issues concerning CBR are presented as the background for the analysis of the application possibilities. The industrial control system based on the CBR approach process the knowledge concerning past production cases in order to find a case, that is relevant for a control of the present production. The found relevant case is being reused in the present problem as a pattern for control of industrial process. The CBR methodology enables also to learn from the solved current problem. Presented in the article analysis of design of the industrial control system with the CBR approach is a basis for implementation of an experimental application.
