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 provides an overview of 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.
