StratVision - A Framework for Strategic Vision Formalization

New concepts and software tools for supporting the acquisition of strategical skills in heuristic games are described. The formal authoring of patterns of Chess is presented as a key element that underlies human-like style of playing and as a meta-cognitive task for learners and grand masters to reflect about patterns stored in their long term memory. Multiple external representations concepts are used in the design of the environment. Also, few past works have been found in the scientific literature about applying knowledge, at a strategical vision level, to game engines. Such concepts can be applied to administration sciences and medicine diseases diagnoses. Finally, future research perspectives are discussed.
