Abstract

In a vast range of domains, decision makers have taken advantages of the benefits of the Contextual-Graph (CxG) formalism for representing the way(s) an actor(s) executes a real-world task. For this purpose, the CxG software formalism provides actors with edition tools that help them create and explore contextual graphs in an intuitive manner. However, the modeling of group interaction requires the introduction of new elements for managing each actor’s intervention. In this paper, we incorporate simulation functionalities to the CxG software. The simulation of a task execution relies heavily on the concept of working context, which corresponds to the contextual elements existing in a CxG, their value, and their instantiations taken during the simulation, as well as the instantiation of the simulation parameters for managing the turn mechanism.
