A Visualisation Approach for Collaborative Planning Systems Based on Ontologies

Abstract

In the last decades, many advances have been made in intelligent planning systems. Significant improvements related to core problems, providing faster search algorithms and shortest plans have been proposed. However, there is a lack in researches allowing a better support for a proper use and interaction with planners, where, for instance, visualization can play an important role. This work proposes a way to address the problem of visualization in intelligent planning systems via a more general approach. It consists in an integrated ontology set and reasoning mechanism for multi-modality visualisation destined to collaborative planning environments. This framework will permit organizing and modeling the domain from the visualization perspective, and give a tailored support for presentation of information.
