Systemic software reuse through analogical reasoning

This research focuses on analogical reasoning as applied to the problem of software reuse at the level of the system architecture. The resulting methodology may be thought of as a hybrid approach to software reuse, as it combines a compositional developmental strategy with synthesis of role-based behaviors. The components of this research include: a methodology based upon an extension of object-oriented design principles that promotes decoupling of object representations and provides mechanisms for composing systems from abstract objects, relations, and frameworks; techniques for measuring the degree that two systems are analogically correlated; and automated support for the application of analogically derived mappings in the translation of system concepts from source to target domains.
