Visual Knowledge in Tactical Planning. Functional Design and Knowledge Representation. Phase 2 Technical Report

Abstract

A theory of human cognition developed by Professor Lev Vekker holds that human thought involves three distinct modes of processing: symbolic, visual, and kinesthetic, and transformations between these modes. A computer reasoning approach is described that combines the symbolic and visual modes for associate systems. The goal is not only to take better advantage of the human visual mode capabilities for the man-machine system through the improved visualization techniques. The computer will use the visual mode processing as well, using graphic structures and processing normally associated with rendering and image processing as part of the inference process. The technique is initially being applied to military tactical planning, with the selection of an avenue of approach being the initial scenario for prototype development. We envision application of planning intensive activities such as simulation.
