Abstrakt: The benefits of a CBR approach for project management are illustrated by an architecture for a system that supports accurate estimation of software project effort. The development of the architecture revealed several possibilities and challenges for CBR. There is a clear use for hierarchical cases, represented as graphs. It seems beneficial to develop an ontology as a common basis for the representation of cases and adaptation knowledge, and as a handle for knowledge management at a higher level. Such a representation, embedded in a CBR system, allows for taking the experience of the actual resources into account. Selecting and allocating actual engineers should greatly enhance the accuracy of estimates, but requires integration of some scheduling functionality. Finally, tasks and projects are very dynamic cases, this may lead to expansion of the concept of "conversational" CBR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
