Centrality in Policy Network Drawings : (Extended Abstract)

چکیده
We report on first results of a cooperation aiming at the usage of graph drawing techniques to convey domain-specific information contained in policy or, more general, social networks. Policy network analysis is an approach to study policy making processes, structures and outcomes, thereby concentrating on the analysis of relations between policy actors. An important operational concept for the analysis of policy networks is centrality, i.e. the distinction of actors according to their importance in a relational structure. Matching structural with geometric centrality we incorporate the aggregated values of centrality measures into a layout model of the network.

متن کاملCrossing minimization in extended level drawings of graphs
The most popular method of drawing directed graphs is to place vertices on a set of horizontal or concentric levels, known as level drawings. Level drawings are well studied in Graph Drawing due to their strong application for the visualization of hierarchy in graphs. There are two drawing conventions: horizontal drawings use a set of parallel lines and radial drawings use a set of concentric c...

متن کاملVisualizing Multiple System Atrophy Studies Based on Collaboration Network and Centrality Indices in Web of Science Database
Introduction: Social network analysis is an analytical method based on graph theories that identifies relationships between individuals or factors to analyze the social structures resulted from those relationships. The objective of this study was to analyze co-authorship and co-word networks based on scientometric indicators and centrality measures in the studies on multiple atrophy system dise...
