Abstract  In allusion to the traditional case retrieval technology disadvantage of die design, a rough set-based case retrieval method is presented in the die design. To analyze and deal with die case database using rough set theory, and use a method by using grade classification and decision attributes supporting degree to discretize the quantitative features. It confirms the important degree of all types of characteristic attributes. To aim to build up a retrieval method based on case's key attributes. It uses the similarity method to carry on the similarity degree, retrieve the closest design the case from the case database to take the design case reference. The proposed method is also demonstrated by an application example. The technology guarantees the validity of case retrieval reduces system dependence and improves efficiency of case retrieval. 35824
1. Introduction  Design method based on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is in virtue of the preterit cases and experiences which regard design reference to solve new design problems, overcome the bottleneck of knowledge acquisition and solve complex problem difficult to control of the reasoning system. Case retrieval is the key technology of CBR. It has biggish effect on the efficiency of obtaining the answer and reasoning veracity. Because design cases have many characteristic attributes whose importance degree is different and weighting coefficient is difficult to calculate, we usually obtain the results by the supposition or average weighting coefficient method based on experiences and knowledge. So this result can not prove its correctness and guarantee the validity of case retrieval. Rough Set Theory (RST) is used to process weighting coefficient problem of the case attributes. It makes use of the existing information to calculate the importance degree of all attributes and provides impersonal and reasonable evidence for the similar matching [1]. So the paper brings forward the case retrieval technology based on rough set theory which realizes the similar matching between the object case and the original case.
2. Rough set theory  In the rough set theory, the knowledge is represented by the form of information system. An information system is a data set which expresses with the two-dimensional form. Row expresses the attribute and column expresses the object. In order to realize the intelligentization of the processing data, there need some signs which to express knowledge [2]. The knowledge representation is to research the set of objects. So the foundation of RST is its basic concept, and then a few main concepts are introduced as follow [3]: Definition 1 (Decision Table) S = {U, A, V, F}, U is an objects collection (Domain), C∪D=A is an attribute set. Subset C is called condition attribute and D is called decision attribute. V=Ur∈RVr is a set of attributes. Vr is the attribute values range of r  ∈ A. F: U×A→V is an information function, which designates each object x’s attribute value in U.  Definition 2 (Indiscermibility Relation) S = {U, A, V, F} for every attribute subset B ⊆ A to define an indiscernibility relation Ind(B): Ind(B)={(x, y)∈U2:fa(x)= fa(y),∀a∈B}. Ordered pair BS = ( U, IND( B) ) is called approximation space. According to the offered information of attribute set B, the included entity equivalent [X]B is defined to be [X]B={y∈U|xIND( B) y}. Definition 3 (Object Set) S = {U, A, V, F}, A=CUD and B ⊂ C. Defined D’s positive region of B: PosB(D)=∪{B(X):X∈IND(D)}.  Definition 4 (Attribute Set)     S = {U, A, V, F}, A=CUD and the dependability between D and C is defined: K =γc(D) =|POSC (D)| / |U|（0≤K≤1）. For the attribute of c∈C, if  γC (D) =γC−c (D), then attribute c is redundant attribute which is relative to decision-making attribute D.  Definition 5 (Attribute Reduction)  S = {U, A, V, F}, A=CUD and B⊆C. If B and D are independent, and  γC (D) =γB (D), then B is called C’s relative reduction of D, and marks as Rred  案例检索算法冲压模具英文文献和中文翻译:http://www.youerw.com/fanyi/lunwen_33959.html
