    Karta Siebenundzwanzig User s Manual
    (2006-02-15) Lim, Eunice; Sedach, Vladimir; Fraser, Kurtis; Kremer, Rob
    The basic use of a concept map is to illustrate and gain insight about the relationships between certain ideas or concepts . Concept maps are very useful visual aids; they are often helpful for understanding complex relationships very quickly. A basic concept map usually consists of some combination of nodes and arcs. A node represents a certain concept and an arc represents a relationship between two or more nodes. Arcs are also used to show relationships between relationships (arcs can be connected to arcs). Using nodes and arcs, very complex relationships can be demonstrated visually.

    The Karta-CASA Framework: Concept Mapping and Multi-Agent Systems
    (2006-02-15) Sedach, Vladimir; Lim, Eunice; Fraser, Kurtis; Kremer, Rob
    This paper describes the Karta-Casa project, an attempt to design an agent framework that provides a flexible, extensible and easy-to-use base for constructing various single-user and distributed groupware visualization and concept mapping applications. The structure and the development process behind Karta-CASA are detailed, and several novel aspects of the system are described. Details of several applications based on the framework are provided. Further, this paper suggests several research directions for extending the Karta-CASA system into areas that have not yet been explored by other agent visualization systems.
