Visualizing Social Networks: A Graph Visualization Case Stud

One of the most common applications of graph visualization is in the study of social networks. This video shows how a paper co-authorship network can be explored using a graph visualization technique. The technique utilized builds upon the physics metaphor of traditional force-directed graph layouts to provide the user with interactive tools for the manipulation of the graph. These tools consist basically of magnets, which can be set to attract nodes and edges depending on their topological and semantic properties. The video explains the technique and shows how it can be used to answer a typical question regarding co-authorship networks.
