A good deal of the reasoning done in a case-based planning system can be done directly from (episodic) cases, as opposed to specialized memory structures. In this paper, we examine the issues involved in such direct reasoning including how this representation can support multiple uses, and what role execution plays in such a framework. We illustrate our points using COOKIE, a direct case-based planner in the food preparation domain.
