Abstract
We propose realizing communicative plans in graphics by mapping the communi cative goals to conceptual tasks and then using the task-based graphic desi gn to select graphical techniques. The mapping rules are presented in three dimensions: data aggregation and selection, task synthesis, and task aggre gation. Those rules have been incorporated in AutoBrief, a research system for multimedia explanation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser ved.
