PP: Overviewing evolution patterns of egocentric networks by interactive construction of spatial layouts

Problem:

get a overall picture of how ego-networks evolve is a common challenging task. 

Existing techniques: inspect the evolution patterns of ego-networks one after another. 

Purpose

how analysts can gain insights into the overall evolution patterns of ego-networks by interactively creating different spatial layouts. 

Introduction:

1. What is ego-network and ego-network analysis?

The analysis of individuals in a network context is referred to as egocentric network analysis or ego-network analysis. An ego-network consists of a focal node, the nodes within its one-step neighborhood and all the edges among these node

2. the content in a spatial layout

each dot represents a dynamic ego-network, clusters of dots indicate similar evolution patterns./ outlying dots exhibit uncommon evolution pattterns. 

3. interpretability and interactivity.

This technique is developed with interpretability and interactivity in mind

Related work:

1. ego-network visualization

2. dynamic network visualization

3. techniques for creating spatial layouts for sensemaking

 

Methodology:

1. the visual function of spatial layouts.

create spatial layouts, which provide overviews of the evolution patterns. and each dot in spatial layouts presents a dynamic ego-network. 

2. data transformation pipeline: adjust the spatial layouts and convert dynamic ego-networks into event sequences.
