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.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
