ABSTRACT
It has been argued for a long time that the representation of a problem is of crucial importance to understanding and solving it. Equally accepted is the fact that the human visual system is a powerful system to be used in information processing tasks. However, there, exist few systems which try to take advantage of these insights. We have constructed a variety of system components which automatically generate graphical representations of complex structures. We are pursuing the long-range goal of constructing a software oscilloscope which makes the invisible visible. Our tools are used in a variety of contexts: in programming environments, in intelligent tutoring systems, and in human-computer interaction in general by offering aesthetically pleasing interfaces.

Shape understanding system: Visual intelligence tests: Research Articles
Understanding is based on a large number of highly varied abilities called intelligence that can be measured. In this paper understanding abilities of the shape understanding system (SUS) are tested based on the methods used in intelligence tests. These ...
