Reuse of safety argumentation and evidence for certification is one of the potential means for achieving such a strategy. Typically, major problems arise when the evolution of complex avionics entails the reconstruction of the entire body of safety justification, often resulting in expensive and time-consuming assurance and certification processes. This paper investigates the use of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) as a strategy for representing, retrieving and reusing previously assured safety cases. This is supported by the existence of patterns of safety cases, which determine a unified knowledge representation scheme for retrieving further safety cases. We illustrate the approach with the development of modular argumentation for an Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) platform.14enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.1007/978-3-642-33675-1_3avionicscased-based reasoningcertificationsafety assuranceTheoretical Computer ScienceGeneral Computer Sciencehttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84868103350&partnerID=8YFLogxK
