Temporal Branching Approach for Visual Exploration of Simulation Process in Dynamic Networks

Abstract

This paper presents a concept for visualization of simulation processes in temporal networks. Core principles are based on interactive real-time visualization of complex networks and dynamic processes. Any modifications in simulation parameters result in division of a timeline into branches. Described concept was integrated into an extended tool for visual analysis and tested on a model of interbank interaction. Proposed developments significantly improve process of visual analysis: pattern detection, search of distinctions and etc.
