Use of Directed Acyclic Graph Analysis in Generating Instructions for Multiple Users

Mitchell, M.

    Directed acyclic graphs are a common method of representing groups of tasks that have an underlying partial order. Graphs have the advantage of easily representing nonlinear relationships, but relationships between groups of tasks may go unnoticed as a group of tasks become large. Textual instructions have the advantage of allowing explicit reference to tasks or groups of tasks, but they do not facilitate users working in parallel. We present the use of directed acyclic graph analysis as a means of overcoming this problem. We use this as a means of text planning, producing instruction output that embodies the advantages of both graphical and textual representations.
