Abstract

Sketching is a powerful means to represent objects and reason on them. In this paper we describe an integrated environment, conceived as a multi agent system, that brings together sketch recognition functionalities and decision support facilities. In this environment, intelligent agents are exploited both for managing the process of recognition of the sketched objects, and for supporting users in solving decisional problems. We explain our approach and its potential by means of a running example taken from the domain of building's safety.
