During the last decade, case-based reasoning has evolved from initial ideas that originated in cognitive science to a well established intelligent technology suitable for various applications. One consequence is that the focus of current case-based reasoning research has moved from basic issues - like representation, acquisition, retrieval, and indexing - toward the maintenance of large-scale systems. However most methods for maintenance only consider removing cases to restoring prediction accuracy. As a consequence, knowledge is lost and prediction accuracy is viewed as the only requirement useful for satisfying customers. This talk considers ways to improve cases besides removing them and applies a methodology for maintaining the knowledge of diagnostic case-based reasoning systems. The methodology indirectly measures and monitors customer requirements and restores them if necessary.
