This work is aimed at visualizing the dynamic behaviour of very large communication networks. The visualization of large graphs and networks is a crucial part of many applications, for which typical approaches are too demanding of computational resources. Since one of the most important issues is a visualization of the dynamic behaviour of graphs, special aspects of the visualization of huge graphs with dynamic behaviour are discussed. The paper describes an algorithm that speeds up the visualization of very large graphs and provides fast access to underlying data structures. It provides an adaptive data structure for general dynamic graphs and discusses the adaptation of this structure to very large communication networks. Our method supports several special tools for efficient analysis and evaluation of the graphs representing communication networks.

Multimedia and Information Systems
Our research is centred around the theme of Multimedia Information Retrieval, ie, Video Search Engines, Image Databases, Spoken Document Retrieval, Music Retrieval, Query Languages and Query Mediation.

We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
