大多数计算机、通信和社会关系等应用领域不断涌现的网络数据具有动态的特性.相对于静态网络,动态网络增加的时间维度对数据可视化和分析提出更多的挑战.基于已有文献,文中指出用动态图模型描述动态网络的思路并且归纳出其可视化的3个标准.根据时间维度的映射方式不同,首先深入分析和比较动画、时间线以及两者混合的基本动态图可视化技术;然后将基本方法扩展到多变量和大规模动态网络;再结合可视化最终目标和具体任务需求,探讨在不同应用领域动态网络可视分析方法;最后提出该领域需进一步探索的方向.
Most of the various network data which come from computer, communication and social relationshipapplication has the dynamic character. Compared with static network, dynamic network with the added time dimensionlead to more challenge for data visualization and analysis. Based on the existing references, we considerdynamic graph model as dynamic network and summarize three visualization standards for it. According to differenttime dimension mapping method, we firstly deeply analyze and compare animation, timeline and hybridtechniques for basic dynamic network visualization. Secondly we extend to describe new multivariate scale andlarge dynamic network visualization. Furthermore based on combing visual analysis purpose and specific taskrequirement, visual analysis technique in different application is discussed. Finally we discuss the future researchdirection on this topic.
