VisiRule An overview of the VisiRule decision logic charting tool
What is VisiRule? • Decision Support tool • Knowledge Management tool • Artificial Intelligence • Expert Systems • Knowledge Transfer tool
How does VisiRule work? • Draw some nodes and links • Add some text [labels, expressions] • Attach some code [optional] • Generate and test the code • Publish on the Internet or PC
Example usages • Decision tree delivery and execution • Dynamic questionnaire production • Diagnostics and fault finding • Classification • Business Rule Automation
What is VisiRule? • Graphical tool for decision logic • Drawing and layout of logic flow • Code generation for Flex and Prolog • Execute code in-situ • Check and debug results • Generate and export code
Who is VisiRule for? • People involved with specifying and modeling decision and knowledge processes • People involved with automating decision making • All sectors – legal, banking, finance, diagnostics
Goals of VisiRule • Makes technology available to non-programmers and programmers • Question and answer-based processes can be rapidly tested and deployed • Run-time architecture integrates into existing web and desktop standards
What does VisiRule do? • Lets you draw charts • Lets you explore logic • Lets you generate code • Lets you export XML • Lets you produce WMF [charts]
What does VisiRule produce? • Charts as shareable diagrams • Code for exporting and embedding • Text for exporting and exploring • Possible test suite • Possible audit trail
VisiRule • Point ‘n Click to add new objects • Delete link and associated objects • Edit expressions in-line • Automatic aggregation for menus • Analysis of logic flow
Intelligent Design Tool • Automatic linking/de-linking of objects • Horizontal/vertical alignment • Horizontal/vertical spacing • Syntax checker for expressions & code • Show/don’t show information fields
A Simple Worked Example • New empty chart • Create the Nodes • Link the Nodes • Generate and Test the Code
Another Worked Example • 2 binary questions • 4 outcome nodes • Compound logic in expressions
Another Worked Example • 2 binary questions • 4 outcome nodes • Compound logic in expressions
Various Nodes Types • Question nodes • Expression nodes • Statement Boxes • Code Boxes • Start and End nodes
