Summary: A Simplified Relativistic Configuration Interaction (SRCI) method 
         is developed to study the Dielectronic Recombination (DR) processes.
         This provides an efficient method to check the validity of 
         extrapolation based on  $n^{-3}$ scaling law. As an example, we 
         studied the DR processes for Li-like argon, and the results are 
         compared with recent experimental measurements at the ion storage 
         ring CRYRING.
