English abstract:
In this paper, we present a case study of applying visual analytics methods to explore a dynamic social network. The visualization and analysis of this kind of data is challenging because of its relational and temporal nature. We illustrate a method and its prototypical implementation that integrate: the combination of three views based on node-link diagrams, a dynamic layout, the visualization of social network analysis metrics, and specific interaction techniques for tracking node trajectories and connections over time. We discuss how this integration of visual, interactive and analytical methods, driven by perceptual principles, can help users with gaining insights when examining dynamic organizational network data.
