Dissertation Research My Ph.D. research, completed in 1999 at the University of Pittsburgh, was in the area of case-based reasoning (CBR) and its application to ethical reasoning. An abstract of my dissertation is found below. My Ph.D. advisor was Kevin Ashley whose work is well known in the field of case-based reasoning, particularly as it applies to legal reasoning. The rest of my Ph.D. committee was Bruce Buchanan, Martha Pollack, and Manuela Veloso. Assessing the Relevance of Cases and Principles using Operationalization Techniques Abstract My dissertation can be downloaded as a .pdf file (Intro, Body). |
