Abstract This dissertation defines a model elaborating analogical similarities between conceptual descriptions of objects, composed of classification, generalization and attribution relations. Analogies are detected by functions measuring distances between objects with respect to each of those types of relations. These distance metrics distinguish the importance of the individual relations. In particular the importance of distinct attributes is measured as belief to the validity of three properties regarding each attribute, namely the charactericity, abstractness and determinance. The model is able to detect analogies even between non-uniform descriptions of objects from different domains. Similarity analysis is possible in polynominal time under certain circumnstances. A computational implementation of the model has been used in an empirical evaluation regarding applications to software reuse, with positive preliminary results.
