==== Description ====
Decision trees are models used for the classification (prediction) of data. 
These models are traditionally automatically constructed. We present a system 
for the interactive construction and analysis of decision trees that enables 
domain experts to bring in domain specific knowledge. We identify different 
user tasks and according requirements, and develop a system incorporating a 
tight integration of visualization, interaction and algorithmic support. Domain 
experts are supported in growing, pruning, optimizing and analysing decision 
trees. Furthermore, we present scalable decision tree visualizations optimized 
for exploration.
