Resumen

Ego-network, which can describe relationships between a focus node (i.e., ego) and its neighbor nodes (i.e., alters), often changes over time. Exploring dynamic ego-networks can help users gain insight into how each ego interacts with and is influenced by the outside world. However, most of the existing methods do not fully consider the multilevel analysis of dynamic ego-networks, resulting in some evolution information at different granularities being ignored. In this paper, we present an interactive visualization system called DyEgoVis which allows users to explore the evolutions of dynamic ego-networks at global, local and individual levels. At the global level, DyEgoVis reduces dynamic ego-networks and their snapshots to 2D points to reveal global patterns such as clusters and outliers. At the local level, DyEgoVis projects all snapshots of the selected dynamic ego-networks onto a 2D space to identify similar or abnormal states. At the individual level, DyEgoVis utilizes a novel layout method to visualize the selected dynamic ego-network so that users can track, compare and analyze changes in the relationships between the ego and alters. Through two case studies on real datasets, we demonstrate the usability and effectiveness of DyEgoVis.
