Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of locating the appropriate component in an object-oriented software repository along with the issue of extending the component to adapt it to particular requirements. In order to give support to both types of tasks, we use a CBR approach which allows to profit from past experiences with the use of the repository, and to integrate different knowledge sources under the same representation scheme. This approach has been evaluated through a prototype implementation, which addresses the reuse of a general purpose Smalltalk repository.
