[drools-research] Visualizing production rules metrics in 3D

[Jackson Cunha]

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 (
http://www.inf.usi.ch/phd/wettel/codecity.html<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Einf%2Eusi%2Ech%2Fphd%2Fwettel%2Fcodecity%2Ehtml&urlhash=ZkiL&_t=tracking_anet>),
where java code is visualized using a city metaphor and Sonar where metrics
are extracted from source code to help in code quality assurance (

).

So, my questions is:
1 - How much relevant you think this idea is?
2 - You know about other research in this area?

Thanks in advance.
