Road map

• "Copy" a lot of the original source code while still trying to modernize it. Since ConExp has a lot of functionality this is the only sensible approach to our task.
• Use HCI techniques like Heuristic Evaluation together with usability guidelines (8 golgend rules shneiderman)
• We keep the general layout / design of ConExp as, firstly, it is not bad and, more importantly, users of ConExp will immediately familiarize with ConExp2. "Change for change's sake is pointless"

Possible Future Enhancements

ConExp 1.4 Roadmap

The following content is taken from ConExp's roadmap for its never-released 1.4 incarnation. Maybe we can incorporate some of these things into ConExp2:

• Implication and association rule navigator with support for rule selection and filtering
• Background implication set specification and editing for context
• Attribute exploration with incomplete information
• Visualisation of part of rule sets with help of line diagrams
• Nested line diagrams
• Line diagram editor
• Ability to select sublattices for the exploration
• Birdview for line diagrams
• Reordering of elements of contexts in order to cluster objects/attributes on base of similarity between them and to visually see the grouping of elements
• The bipartite graph view for context
• Ability to switch between context/lattice/implication set forms of representations (data can be specified in any initial form and then transformed into other forms)
