The paper shows industrial practicians how current case-based reasoning technology can be used in engineering domains. It analyses knowledge needed to support case retrieval. It starts with descriptions of retrieval algorithms for several levels of expressiveness of the case representation language, and it discusses where the algorithmic complexity results from. To illustrate problems of current case-based reasoning approaches, it describes an application which supports the reuse of object oriented software.
