Hi for all! My team are starting a project where we will develop a tool to visualize metrics of a production rule base and show them in a 3D form. Through this tool we want measure quality and conformity with good practices to help in detection of anomalies and ensure a good design of a knowledge base. Other tools and studies already exists to visualize code and calculate metrics from java code. Examples are CodeCity (<a target="blank" href="http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Einf%2Eusi%2Ech%2Fphd%2Fwettel%2Fcodecity%2Ehtml&urlhash=ZkiL&_t=tracking_anet" rel="nofollow" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;outline-width:initial;outline-style:none;outline-color:initial;font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,'Nimbus Sans L',sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(0,102,153);line-height:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">http://www.inf.usi.ch/phd/wettel/codecity.html</a>), where java code is visualized using a city metaphor and Sonar where metrics are extracted from source code to help in code quality assurance (<a target="blank" href="http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnemo%2Esonarsource%2Eorg%2Fdashboard%2Findex%2F327690&urlhash=DS1_&_t=tracking_anet" rel="nofollow" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;outline-width:initial;outline-style:none;outline-color:initial;font-size:13px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,'Nimbus Sans L',sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:none;color:rgb(0,102,153);line-height:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">http://nemo.sonarsource.org/dashboard/index/327690</a>). So, my questions is: 1 - How much relevant you think this idea is? 2 - You know about other research in this area?
