Abstract

Through successfully applying the Contextual-Graph formalism in many fields (e.g. medicine, transport, and military), the need for an alternative visualization was recurrently encountered. Decision makers require: (1) a visual representation that clusters all the contextual information needed to develop a practice, and (2) a representation that allows them to easily identify each practice output. Either if this output corresponds to a real object (e.g. a medical image), or an object of the reasoning (e.g. a strategy for highway driving). This paper presents the response to decision-makers needs: the Practice Tree view, which is the result of transforming a contextual graph into a tree that complies the described requirements.
