Abstract
Case-based reasoning or Analogical reasoning involves storing cases (or examples) of
problems and solutions and using this case-base to solve new problems. Its application
in design, in general, and structural design, in particular, has a fairly recent history
and is thus still in its infancy. Representation of design cases is an important issue
in the development of Case Based Design Systems. The requirements of a representation
scheme for design cases are discussed in this paper. A new representation scheme has
been proposed that enables not only directly making use of past design cases, but also
enables reasoning about the designs.
