In this paper we present a set of extension techniques to stabilize interactive dynamic graph layout algorithms. It works with different existing Focus & Context methods. We first deal with the initial placement of newly inserted nodes to mitigate acting forces in the layout algorithm. Then, their influence on the existing layout is gradually increased to create a smooth transition between the ...

In this paper, we present new visual analysis methods for history of the FIFA World Cup competition data, a social network from Graph Drawing 2006 Competition. Our methods are based on the use of network analysis method, and new visualization methods for dynamic graphs with dynamic hierarchy and geographic clustering. More specifically, we derive a dynamic network with geographic clustering fro...

As part of the GINA project at GMD, an interface builder has been implemented that can be used to interactively develop graphical user interfaces based on the OSF/Motif toolkit. The interface builder extensively uses direct-manipulation techniques to facilitate explorative learning and to accelerate the definition process. It provides special support for the dynamic layout capabilities of Motif...

The main characteristic of today’s manufacturing environments is volatility. Under such a volatile environment some parameters like demand is not stable. To operate efficiently under such environments, the facilities must be adaptive to change production requirements. From a layout point of view, this situation requires the solution of the dynamic layout problem (DLP). Layout design has a signi...
