Abstract

In this paper we present a prototype CBR system CAROL (Case Assisted Reuse of Object Library) to support reuse of class descriptions in Object-Oriented programming [Szeg95]. CAROL computes similarities between, and returns a list of, class descriptions which are most similar to a target class specification. The case base consists of a set of PROLOG data base facts representing classes, attributes and relationships. Current work is directed at increasing the functionality of CAROL by implementing the automatic adaptation of a candidate class specification to the required target class specification.
