Abstract
The paper describes a knowledge-based system called ACCELERE, that was developed in order to aid in designing closed cell rubber. Designing closed cell rubber is a complex activity. Complexity comes from the high number of design variables and the interaction between them. Consequently, the available knowledge is incomplete and does not permit to solve a problem at the first attempt. Then a design episode is an iterative process which can last up to 24 months. ACCELERE was developed to reduce this time, and to help the designers in synthesis as well as in evaluation phases of the design cycle. Because of the lack of knowledge, ACCELERE uses Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) as main problem solving method.
