This text describes projects in which case-based reasoning (CBR) is the focus for the representation and reasoning in a particular design domain. It provides a broad spectrum of applications and issues in applying and extending the concept of CBR to design.

Current research in Visual Database Systems can be characterized by scalability, multi-modality of interaction, and higher semantic levels of data. Visual interfaces that allow users to interact with large databases must scale to web and distributed applications. Interaction with databases must employ multiple and more diversified interaction modalities, such as speech and gesture, in addition to visual exploitation. Finally, the basic elements managed in modern databases are rapidly evolving, from text, images, sound, and video, to compositions and now annotations of these media, thus...
