Case-based models have been used extensively in design research and education. Attribute-value tables and object-oriented representations were the dominating approaches to case representation. Hypermedia added to the case representation a collection of "natural" descriptions represented as text in free or table format and other multimedia data, such as images, video, sound, etc. However, reasoning algorithms didn't take the advantage of this representation.

This seminar presents the idea of employing data mining techniques for extracting additional information from hypermedia cases and incorporating the knowledge into the case-based model.

Simeon J. Simoff is Senior Research Scientist at the Key Centre of Design Computing, University of Sydney, Australia. His current research is connected with multimedia information systems, knowledge engineering, data mining and knowledge discovery, virtual design studios, and distributed environments for on-line design education.
