Sedach, VladimirLim, EuniceFraser, KurtisKremer, Rob2008-02-262008-02-262006-02-15http://hdl.handle.net/1880/45548This 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.EngComputer Science2005-797-2810.11575/PRISM/30873
