     This is an answer to a request for sources on analogical reasoning.

D. Gentner & C. Toupin, "Systematicity and surface similarity in the
development of analogy", COGNITIVE SCIENCE, 10, 277-300 (1986).

J. Carbonell, "Derivational Analogy: A theory of ....", in R. Michalski,
J. Carbonell, T. Mitchell, _Machine Learning_, (vol 1), 1983.

S. Kedar-Cabelli, "Analogy--From a unified perspective", Laboratory for
Computer Science Research, Hill Center, Rutgers University, Technical
Report ML-TR-3 (Dec 1985).

Rogers P. Hall, "Understanding analogical reasoning: computational
approaches", Department of Informatin and Computer Science,
University of California, Irvine, 92717, Nov 1986

Many more papers appear in proceedings from AAAI and IJCAI.  It is an
active area in machine learning also.  I understand Hall's paper was going
to be published in AI Journal.  That paper and Kedar-Cabelli's are fairly
long surveys.
