Visualization of Dynamic Chat Communication
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.
