Visualization Methods for Longitudinal Social 1 Networks and Actor - based Modeling ?

Visualization methods for longitudinal social networks and stochastic actor-oriented modeling

As a consequence of the rising interest in longitudinal social networks and their analysis, there is also an increasing demand for tools to visualize them. We argue that similar adaptations of state-of-the-art graph-drawing methods can be used to visualize both, longitudinal networks and predictions of stochastic actor-oriented models (SAOM), the most prominent approach for analyzing such netwo...

Visualization Methods for 1 Longitudinal Social Networks and 2 Stochastic Actor - Oriented Modeling ?

6 As a consequence of the rising interest in longitudinal social networks and their 7 analysis, there is also an increasing demand for tools to visualize them. We argue 8 that similar adaptations of state-of-the-art graph-drawing methods can be used to 9 visualize both, longitudinal networks and predictions of stochastic actor-oriented 10 models (SAOM), the most prominent approach for analyzing...

Research Note - Towards Dynamic Visualization for Understanding Evolution of Digital Communication Networks

The capabilities offered by digital communication are leading to the evolution of new network structures that are grounded in communication patterns. As these structures are significant for organizations, much research has been devoted to understanding network dynamics in ongoing processes of electronic communication. A valuable method for this objective is Social Network Analysis. However, its...

The Symbiosis of Human and Semantic Technology Through the Lens of Actor-Network Theory

Background:  Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction."  The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...
