A transparent interface to state-space search programs
Steven L. Tanimoto, STEFANO LEVIALDI · 2006
We present a visual interface for a variety of programs that employ state-space search methods. The interface displays a tree of the states visited so far, and it permits user interaction through manipulation of the tree. The interface is implemented in a domain-independent Python module. We give illustrations of its application in three domains: classical problem solving, image processing, and composition of musical motifs. The interface exemplifies a class of techniques for bringing a form of transparency to computer systems.
