Abstract

Analogy is proposed as an alternative paradigm for specification reuse during requirements analysis. However, extensive analyst involvement is necessary to maximise analogical reuse across domains. An intelligent reuse advisor which supports analysts during the retrieval, understanding and customisation of complex specifications is proposed. Its design is based on cognitive models of analogical reasoning during software reuse derived from empirical studies of analytic behaviour.
