Abstract

As the social network analysis has gradually been applied in many scientific fields, a tool for visualizing and analyzing large-scale networks is urgently needed. VisNetMiner is an integration tool for visualization and analysis of networks, which aims at integrating data preprocessing, modeling, analysis and visualization. This tool can analyze different kinds of data and builds a clear architecture for network analysis and visualization. Moreover, VisNetMiner has the following characteristics: 1) organizing the structural data with a uniform and flexible multi-dimensional data model; 2) providing comprehensive methods for network analysis and visualization; 3) assisting users manage the analytic processes with the workflow management. The experiments verify the effectiveness of VisNetMiner with an academic collaboration network.
