Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) solves new problems by using experience represented by solved cases. The acquisition of adaptation knowledge and its subsequent application remains a classic challenge for CBR applications. In this paper, we present a novel approach for adapting semantic workflows during the reuse phase of the CBR cycle. A reinforcement learning agent is utilized, which applies different actions to change nodes of the workflow. Thereby, changes to the workflow are made by replacing, deleting or adding nodes. The agent is evaluated in a case study outlining its ability to adapt a semantic graph in a smart manufacturing domain. While the approach is detailed for the application in the particular domain, it can be adopted for the usage in other process-oriented domains.
