Abstract
Specification reuse by analogy is proposed as an alternative paradigm to support requirements analysis. The paradigm is founded on a descriptive model of analogy in software engineering problems, which suggests critical determinants of software engineering analogies. This model is discussed in terms of two non-simple software engineering analogies, which also suggest the potential of specification reuse by analogy. The requirements of a CASE tool to support reuse of specifications are proposed.Keywords
