Description
Summary:Networks found in nature, culture and technology are dynamic in multiple ways. This poses several challenges to the field of networks visualization that, in general, has been representing networks with fixed layouts. By depicting networks statically, not only are the dynamic properties lost, it is also difficult to read basic properties such as the number of connections between nodes. The author proposes a series of interactive techniques to visualize networks, aimed to reveal their dynamic and organic nature.
