On visual analytics methods at modelling of ill-structured situations and large-scale systems based on cognitive maps

摘要

The use of cognitive maps in support of solving practical problems of analysis of ill-structured situations and large-scale systems in economics, medicine, ecology, education and military-political sphere is growing. The problem of visual perception and understanding of cognitive maps is proven to be extremely urgent and practically important. The set of visualization methods that provide better perception and understanding is proposed. The methods are based on the one hand on cognitive models of “the perceiving person” and on the other, on mathematical features of cognitive maps.
