General main topic

The main topic of the whole project is to develop a series of theoretical, graphical, analytical and computational tools to describe the complex behaviour of networks.

Topics of the group in Karlsruhe

The main topic is the design and implementation of algorithmic tools to support the analysis of self-organized dynamical networks. One major goal is the development of network visualization methods.

We provide a collection of methods and techniques used in network visualization especially for large graphs and networks. As a long-term research project, we develop models and algorithms to integrate and advance the analysis and visualization of social networks. visone is a software tool intended for research and teaching in social network analysis. It is specifically designed to allow experts and novices alike to apply innovative and advanced visual methods with ease and accuracy.

Deliverables

• D06 - Algorithms for representing network centrality, groups and density and clustered graph representation

• D14 - Customization and usability study of general purpose software tools for visualization of large networks

• D22 - Algorithms to find paths and connections from local information
