Visual Analysis of Dynamic Networks with Geological Clustering

Many dynamic networks have associated geological information. Here we present two complementing visual analysis methods for such networks. The first one provides an overview with summerized information while the second one presents a more detailed view. The geological information is encoded in the network layout, which is designed to help maintain user's mental map. We also combined visualization with social network analysis to facilitate knowledge discovery, especially to understand network changes in the context overall evolution. Both methods are applied to the "History of the FIFA World Cup Competition" data set.
