What is VisiRule?

VisiRule™ is specifically designed for building robust and executable decision models

VisiRule decision models are easy to make and share because they are created graphically, in a similar way to MindMap

Unlike other computer tools that try to interpret and execute visual models, VisiRule ensures users create models with "referential integrity" - always consistent

VisiRule is designed and developed by LPA - a well established AI company

What is VisiRule?

“VisiRule is not designed to automatically construct visual models or executable code from data, rather it is a tool that allows experts to build decision models using a graphical paradigm, like MindMap, but one that can be annotated using code and or Boolean logic and then executed and exported to other programs and processes.”

What is VisiRule?

Graphical tool for drawing decision logic Helps lay-out logic flow Test and execute logic in-situ Produces executable flowcharts Upload and Publish to Web

Who is VisiRule for?

Domain experts involved with specifying and modelling knowledge processes

People involved with automated decision making

Typical sectors – legal, banking, finance, electrical, diagnostics

What does VisiRule do?

Lets you draw charts Lets you explore logic Lets you generate code Lets you export XML Lets you test outcomes Lets you produce shareable pictures WMFs

Why VisiRule?

Easy-to-use Intuitive representation Immediate testing and debugging Integration with IT architecture Small footprint – readily available Reliable and verifiable

VisiRule Outputs

Charts as shareable diagrams Code for exporting and embedding Text for exporting, editing and exploring Generate test suite Generate audit trail

3-layers of access

VisiRule creates charts (layer 1) VisiRule generates Flex code (LPA ‘s Expert

System Product) (layer 2) Flex code in turn generates Prolog (layer 3) The underlying Prolog allows you to do

almost anything, including call C functions using a built-in predicate called winapi/4

A Multi-tiered Toolset

VisiRule

Flex

WinProlog

Integration with C#, .Net, Java

Goals of VisiRule

Makes technology available to non-programmers

Question and answer-based processes can be rapidly tested and deployed

Run-time architecture integrates into existing web and desktop standards

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

Examples

Using VisiRule, we can draw a simple chart, Fig. 1, where each expression box evaluates a compound logic expression

Export Chart as XML

Export Chart as WMF

Generate a Truth Table

Future Plans

VisiTab for tablets Native JavaScript deployment Chart Analytics to assess useage Import XML/PMML Import Visio charts Integrate with Machine Learning and Knime
