Abstract
A collective activity generates a large quantity of various information which constitutes the “context”. The comprehension of this context by each actor is essential for the success of the activity. The handling of this context with dedicated interface requires the definition of its data representation, but also its visualization representation in a human machine interface. We present here an interactive visualization graph based on a network representation of this context using a model approach. This visualization allows each actor to have simultaneously a global and local perception of the cooperative context and to handle it (navigate and modify) with adapted and intuitive functions. This approach has been implemented and experimented in the framework of an architectural design activity.
