Fractal Approaches for Visualizing Huge Hierarchies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes fractal approaches to the problems which associate with visualizing huge hierarchies. The geometrical characteristic of a fractal, selfsimilarity, allows users to visually interact with a huge tree in the same manner at every level of the tree. The fractal dimension, a measure of complexity, makes it possible to control the total amount of displayed nodes. A prototype visualization system for UNIX directories is also shown.

Interacting with Huge Hierarchies: Beyond Cone Trees
This paper describes an implementation of a tool for visualizing and interacting with huge information hierarchies, and some preliminary empirical evaluation of the tool’s efficacy. Existing systems for visualizing huge hierarchies using cone trees ‘‘break down” once the hierarchy to be displayed exceeds roughly 1000 nodes, due to increasing visual clutter. This paper describes a system called ...
متن کاملFractal Population Ecology Theory
Abstract Purpose - The aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. Top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...
متن کاملEfficient Frequent Sequence Mining on Taxi Trip Records Using Road Network Shortcuts
Huge amounts of geo-referenced spatial location data and moving object trajectory data are being generated at ever increasing rates. Patterns discovered from these data are valuable in understanding human mobility and facilitating traffic mitigation. In this study, we propose a new approach to mining frequent patterns from large-scale GPS trajectory data after mapping GPS traces to road network...
متن کاملKnowledge discovery in bibliographic collections using concept hierarchies and visualization tools
This paper presents new methods for knowledge extraction and visualization, applied to datasets selected from the astronomical literature. One of the objectives is to detect correlations between concepts extracted from the documents. Concepts are generally meta-information which may be defined a priori, or may be extracted from the document contents and are organised along domain ontologies or ...
متن کاملNode-Edge Diagram Layout for Displaying Hierarchies
This paper reports the layout generation approach used in a new technique for visualizing hierarchies which provides both focus and context visualization. The hierarchy is represented as a node-edge diagram separated in two connected sub-diagrams that show the node of interest and its context.
