Abstract
Large corporations and government agencies often incur unnecessary costs and errors in conceptual software design due to the lack of an ‘institutional memory’ and the specialization of systems. A design browser is introduced as the foundation of an institutional memory to support software reuse. The Design Browser is a combination of an artificial intelligence paradigm known as case-based reasoning and a conceptual framework that presents developers a unified structure through which to understand, compare, and contrast related design experience. The case-based system contains design information about various existing software designs. The conceptual framework provides software developers with a common vocabulary and a frame of reference in which to view the existing software. The Design Browser and empirical results of its evaluation are presented.
