#32715 — Invitation to support our research (by responding to the questionnaire) on analogy based code reuse

At Birkbeck, University of London in collaboration with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, we are doing research on reusing source code based on analogical reasoning.
 
We appreciate the importance of your time and we hope you will be able to invest approximately 15 minutes of your time and fill in our questionnaire. The questionnaire will be available in the next few weeks.
 
We did our best to reduce the amount of questions to the most important ones of our interest. Please note that your feedback is critical to the success of this research. Your answers are completely anonymous.
 
Please follow this link to fill in the questionnaire:

Thank you very much in advance for your time and for supporting our research.

Kind regards,
Marija, Martin and Mario

"Analogical reasoning"?

As source-code is digital by nature, how would you apply analogical
reasoning to it? Over a cup of tea with scones? 

Or do you mean you will ONLY do research on the kind of source-code,
that is BASED on analogical reasoning?

Is there source-code around, that is NOT at least based on analogical
reasoning? 

Perhaps there is source-code around, that is so stupid, that it cannot
reasonably be felt to be based on any reasoning, analog or otherwize, but
I would strongly suggest not to re-use such code. 

Did you perhaps mean "analytical reasoning"?

[ "Analytical reasoning is logic that is inferred through the virtue of
the statement's own content", whatever that means. ;-) ]

Well, that that is not up to you as it would need action from the side of
the responder, and a kind NSA, wouldn't it? 

You can only declare your intentions, which we then must take on
face-value: 

"Your responses to this survey will be kept completely confidential and
anonymous."

I think they mean "by analogy" : It resembles this job so see if it
can be reused for this job.

Sure, and they are asking us what it means for two "jobs" to be analogous.
You see, the fact that you call it a "job" and not a "thing" is already
interesting.  Yet, I'd also agree that analogy just does not cut it, this
ain't big data...
