DySNAV: Dynamic Social Network Analysis and Visualization

Introduction:

DySNAV is a software created by Frédéric Gilbert, Romain Bourqui, Paolo Simonetto, Faraz Zaidi and Fabien Jourdan, for analysis and visualization of dynamic social networks. It allows to visualize changes taking place in communities and the network's underlying hierarchy.

Conception:

DySNAV is a software based on the platform Tulip. It uses the Tulip library and some of its plugins. We also use a component of this platform: the "node-link" diagram view.

Instead of using classical way with menus, context menus, etc..., we opted for an Attribute Panel which proposes the user to set different parameter values and execute various tasks.

Description:

Process:

Following the steps, the user is able to analyze a dynamic network: find interesting changes over time taking place in the communities, dectect communities using similarities between graphs and then infer a hierarchy of the entire network.

At any time, the user can modify any parameter and reapply the new values. Be careful, if a parameter is modified at the ith step, all the parameters starting at the i+1th to the end will be dropped.
