Abstract
In this paper a distributed connectionist-based algorithm for analogical mapping is introduced, where the Labeling Recursive Auto-Associative Memory (LRAAM) (Sperduti 1993) network is used for computing "distributed representations" of object-oriented specification components. Two types of constraints are considered in this work: semantic and structural. Semantic constraints impose the restriction that the elements, one from a previous solved solution and another from a new problem, must share some common meaning to be mapped, whereas structural constraints impose the restriction that the elements must exist in similar structural relationships to be mapped. The proposed mapping algorithm is tested in the domain of software engineering, where the aim is to use analogical reasoning in the reuse process of object-oriented specifications. This paper demonstrates that under certain conditions the LRAAM network is capable of computing similar "distributed representations" for similar object-...
