Abstract

This paper describes a user modeling notation called the Annotated How Chart (AFC) that is highly intuitive and very easy for the domain experts to use. This notation is a form of "extended" flow chart. This notation is defined using Constraint Graphs. Modelling constructs represented in AFC is then mapped to MODEL-ECS (this is an executable conceptual modeling language based on Conceptual Graphs and Actors formalisms), to enable rapid prototyping of executable knowledge models. This paper describes the mappings between constructs in AFC and MODEL-ECS. An example in knowledge modeling is used to illustrate the application of AFC in rapid prototyping of knowledge models.
