A bibliographic database houses vital information pertinent to the research community. By extracting implicit hidden information in such data collections, social networks can be used to represent the various data inter-relationships.In this paper, we propose a new method for the discovery and visualization of research communities from bibliography information. We utilize the hierarchical overlapping...
Digital homes are expected to be the standard in the near future when all aspects of the home can be monitored and controlled remotely by the home owner. For example, if the home owner is unsure whether she closed the garage door before leaving for work, she can view the status of the garage door on her portable computing device such as laptop, PDA or cell phone, and if the garage door is indeed open,...
Conventional force directed graph drawing methods aim to produce aesthetically pleasing visualization of graphs. The edges of the graph have more or less equal length, and there are as few crossing edges as possible. This paper proposes a new e-spring algorithm for visualizing clustered directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) without node overlapping, extended from the popular spring embedder model. In our...
This paper presents a preliminary effort on visualization and analysis of social networks for online marketplaces. We use one of the most popular e-business models, eBay, as a case study. By extracting relevant data, we generate tree structure displays using 'Prefuse' interactive visualization toolkit, and study the social interaction among sellers and buyers, across geographical boundaries. We also...
There is a dramatic increase in the population who use mobile computing devices. Though the hardware becomes more powerful, effective support for information rendering on small screens very much lags behind. To display hierarchical information, researchers have proposed many algorithms for desktop screen visualization. Such algorithms are generally divided into connection and enclosure. Connection...
Information visualization as a discipline can benefit from the techniques successfully used in art and science disciplines. Tufte provides a comprehensive examination of this idea and states that "to envision information - and what bright and splendid visions can result - is to work at the intersection of image, word, number, art". In this article, the author attempted to bridge abstract...
