Abstract :
Reuse within requirements specification has attracted great interest in recent years. Analogical retrieval is proposed as a way of reusing requirements specifications from different application domains. The paper presents a computational architecture to support analogical reuse in conceptual data modelling. The architecture synthesises analogical retrieval theories and results from empirical studies. It is suggested that reusing previous models in a CASE tool repository would greatly improve the functionality of CASE tools
