AdMaTilE: Visualizing Event-Based Adjacency Matrices in a Multiple-Coordinated-Views System

Abstract

Conventional dynamic networks represent network changes via a discrete sequence of timeslices, which usually entails loss of information on fine-grained dynamics. Recently, event-based networks emerged as an approach to model this temporal (event-based) information more precisely. Adjacency-matrixbased visualizations of temporal networks are under-investigated in related literature and present a promising research direction for network visualization. Our approach AdMaTilE (Adjacency Matrix and Timeline Explorer) is designed to visualize event-based networks using multiple matrix views, timelines, difference maps, and staged transitions.
