Abstract
This paper proposes an approach for reusing design methods from past d esigns for solving new problems. This is an application of case-based reasoning to design. The proposed approach is implemented as a prototy pe system called CADREM. CADREM has been tried in the domain of concep tual structural design of buildings. First, a description of case-base d reasoning is given followed by its application in design. Then follo ws a description of the proposed approach and CADREM. Sample outputs f rom CADREM are also included.
