This special issue of AIEDAM will be devoted to papers concerned with Analogical Thinking.

Analogical thinking involves the use of analogies for a variety of tasks such as

1) Generating novel concepts (design-by-analogy) and
2) Helping explain existing and new concepts

We welcome papers that report the study of analogies (and metaphors) not only in design, but more generally in engineering, analysis, manufacturing, as well as design education. We welcome work describing cognitive studies, computational theories and interactive tools.
