		<description><![CDATA[A good analogy does not just invoke some chance resemblance between the  thing being explained and the thing introduced to explain it. It  capitalizes on a deep similarity between the principles that govern the  two things...A good analogy helps you think: the more you ponder it, the...]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Structured Analogies for Forecasting]]></title>
		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=168224]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[When people forecast, they often use analogies, but in an unstructured manner. This paper proposes a structured judgmental procedure that involves asking experts to list as many analogies as they can, rate how similar the analogies are to the target situation, and match the outcomes of the analogies with possible...]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[A Human Organization Analogy for Self Systems]]></title>
		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=123412]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[The paper reveals that the structure and operation of human organizations, such as corporations, offer useful insights to designers of self-systems (a.k.a. self-managing or autonomic). Examples include worker/supervisor hierarchies, avoidance of micro-management, and complaint-based tuning. This paper explores the analogy, and describes the design of a self-storage system that borrows...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=112847]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[The absorption of water in a single-fiber reinforced epoxy-matrix composite system has been modelled successfully using the Finite Element method. The modelling was achieved by considering an analogy between mass diffusion and heat-flow. The model also assumed that polymer swelling due to water absorption was linear and analogous to thermal...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=118436]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[This paper looks at how a particular social analogy could be used to help the design of the environment provided by an agent support system. The paper makes use of an example of a Hotel in illustrating the social analogy. It discusses some of the implementation issues and problems that...]]></description>
