REBUILDER: A CBR Approach to Knowledge Management in Software Design

Authors

Abstract

Knowledge generated during the software development
process can be a valuable asset for a software company. But
in order to take advantage of this knowledge, the company must be able
to store this knowledge for later use, which can be achieved through the
use of knowledge management tools. This paper describes a computational
system for management and reuse of software design knowledge.
We present a Case-Based Reasoning approach combined with a lexical
resource: WordNet. We explain how knowledge management is performed
and how is the stored knowledge reused. Finally we discuss the
advantages and limitations of our approach.
